GallopNYC offers therapeutic horsemanship programs to children and adults with disabilities and special needs, including Veterans and

at-risk youth. We serve 500 riders a week and operate our riding program at six locations. Schedules at each location vary seasonally. This year (2017) we opened our own dedicated sites at GallopNYC Sunrise Stables (Lindenwood) and GallopNYC Forest Hills!  

GallopNYC's Mission

GallopNYC uses therapeutic horsemanship to help riders in NYC with disabilities walk, talk and learn,inspiring them to live their lives as fully, independently and productively as possible.

GallopNYC's Vision

That every child with a disability in New York City has access to therapeutic horseback riding.  

You can make a difference the lives of New Yorkers with disabilities
