GallopNYC provides equine-assisted services that help New Yorkers of all abilities build strength, confidence, and emotional well-being to lead more independent, fulfilling lives.
Founded in 2005, GallopNYC is New York’s largest therapeutic equine-assisted nonprofit sharing the transformative power of horses. We offer life-changing programming to a community as diverse as New York City itself.
Saddle Up!’s mission is to provide children and youth with disabilities the opportunity to grow and develop through therapeutic, educational and recreational activities with horses.
Our Programs
Saddle Up! serves children and youth with disabilities between the ages of 2 and 26 years old. Eligibility requirements differ depending on the program. Saddle Up! is a PATH International Premier Accredited Center which provides high-quality programs in the field of equine-assisted services. Based on your child’s needs and interests, we can provide Adaptive Riding, Therapy Services, Adaptive Horsemanship, Fun on the Farm, Equestrian Club, Interactive Vaulting, From the Ground Up, and/or Alumni Transitions.
Why the horse?
Nothing can compare to the power of the horse. The auto industry has put “horsepower” into their engines for decades, but there is a “horse power” beyond strength and speed that only a real horse can provide. Saddle Up! partners with their herd to offer children and youth with disabilities a unique environment to grow and develop. Our horses provide movement, support, learning opportunities, strength, stability, companionship, and much more to participants in all of our different programs.
Ensuring excellence and changing lives through equine-assisted services.
