GallopNYC knows the therapeutic power of horses, so it set up an “oasis” in the Big Apple, where stressed-out city dwellers can find peace among the ponies.
The non-profit is dedicated to helping riders “walk, talk and learn” through a connection with horses.
Jasmary Alfonso-Andaluz is one of GallopNYC’s hundreds of riders. She is living with multiple sclerosis, which has kept her in chronic pain for years.
