“GallopNYC is one of the few things that animates my son and gets him out into the world, instilling confidence in him and hope in me.  GallopNYC is an oasis in a desert and deserves all the support possible.”

— Rachel, mother of a GallopNYC Rider

“At GallopNYC, I learned that horses tell us how they feel with their ears. Also, we have to pet them from the front, not from behind them. I like riding all horses, but my favorite horse to ride is Eli.”

— Brendan, 16 years

“Therapeutic riding directly improves Brendan’s speech skills and helps him socialize more. In the time we’ve been attending Pony Club, we’ve seen Brendan develop friendships with the other riders. The impact this program has had on our son’s development is so powerful; it is difficult to put into words.”

— Brendan’s Parents, Joan and Brendan
