Volunteer With Gallop At Kensington Stables To Help Horses And People

Neighbor Donald Loggins spotted volunteers and a student from Gallop NYC the other day horsing around in Prospect Park. Not included on our previous list of places to volunteer in Brooklyn but, I can say from experience, incredibly rewarding for people lovers and the equine-obsessed alike, Hippotherapy, therapeutic riding, and Gallop’s other programs based out of Kensington Stables are well worth a few hours of your time. It’s amazing to see what contact with horses can do for people.

Experience isn’t necessary — just fill out a volunteer form to let Gallop know your skills and interests. You can also donate to the program to help cover riders’ fees — and if you or someone you know is interested in riding, see if one of their programs fits your needs.
