The GallopNYC Horses
The Herd
Apollo
I am a 2012 bay American Quarter Horse with smooth, steady movement. My extensive training makes me ideal for teaching riders to post the trot, and I help riders learn advanced skills like leg yielding.
Champ
I am a liver chestnut Welsh pony gelding. I’ve spent most of my life teaching kids how to ride. I used to go to jumping shows and now I help teach therapeutic and hippotherapy riders. One of my coolest tricks is doing a flying lead change at the canter when I’m excited.
Aspen
Hi, I’m Aspen! I am a 12-year-old bay Haflinger cross mare and a former driving horse from Connecticut. Fun fact: I once pulled a carriage with Santa in a Christmas parade!
Charlie
I am a flaxen chestnut Haflinger gelding that used to do pony parties! Now I help teach therapeutic and hippotherapy riders. On a hot day, I’ll probably start to lick you!
I am a 7-year-old chestnut Quarter Horse gelding. I quickly proved myself as a trustworthy and kind member of the herd. Calm and steady, I approach every new experience with ease and bring a quiet confidence to my riders. My gentle nature helps students feel secure as they learn.
Bran
Clover
I am a dark bay Quarter Horse mare from Minnesota! I used to work on a ranch, checking fences and cattle before making the trip to NYC.
Eli
I am a palomino Rocky Mountain gelding. I’m named after a famous football player (Hint: my best friend is Peyton). I have a fifth gait special to my breed, called the pace! I have a repertoire of tricks up my sleeve - I love to show off my park-out trick!
Paloma
I am is a 7-year-old palomino Quarter Horse mare, just over 14 hands. I love people, a good neck stretch, and I’m a favorite with newer riders.
Luxe
Lux joined us from Long Island where he competed for years as a jumping horse before his owner decided he needed a less rigorous job. Easy-going, calm, and dependable, he's the perfect size for our larger riders.
Peyton
I am a flaxen liver chestnut Rocky Mountain gelding named after a famous football player (hint: my best friend is Eli). I was a trail horse for many years, but I’ve quickly learned the ropes of being a sweet and patient therapeutic horse!
My name is Minsk, and I live at GallopNYC’s Sunrise Stables location. I was donated to GallopNYC in 2021 after competing in Polo. I have always been sweet and patient with people, which makes me great at my job. Both my human and horse friends love me. I like to meet new people and trot in the outdoor paddocks.
Minsk
Raven
I’m Raven, a six-year-old grey stock-type horse who recently made the journey from a barn in Connecticut to my new home. With my smooth, flowing gaits, I’m a steady partner for students learning to trot and canter. I can already tell I’ll enjoy helping riders gain confidence and have fun!
Sadie
I’m Sadie! I’m a Quarter Horse with a very calm and chill personality so people feel really comfortable around me. I love to do groundwork in the arena with people because I’m very responsive to your body language. I am used for therapeutic, recreational and hippotherapy lessons. I can do it all!
Sienna
My registered name is Betcha She’s Got It, and I even spent my previous life competing in a handful of Western shows. With kind eyes and a sweet personality, I love connecting with people.
Teddy
Hi, I’m Teddy! I am a 7-year-old chestnut pony gelding, about 12 hands, with a big personality in a little body. My curious nature and small size make me a great fit for our younger Pony Club riders.
Willow
I am a buckskin Quarter Horse mare from Long Island! I love to teach riders how to be confident walking and trotting independently.
