About
GallopNYC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that 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. Founded in 2005, GallopNYC is New York City’s largest therapeutic equine-assisted nonprofit, serving over 450 people each week through the transformative power of horses. They offer life-changing programming to a community as diverse as New York City itself, with a curriculum tailored to a wide set of needs. Their therapeutic riding improves strength, communication skills, balance, mobility, and coordination while building self-esteem, valuable social-emotional skills, and increased independence. GallopNYC depends on the collective support of their staff, volunteers, donors and participants to provide programming to New Yorkers with disabilities and offer the highest quality of care to their horses.
