About GallopNYC’s VOLUNTEERS
8th Annual Ride with Pride Horse Show
Due to severe thunderstorms, the June Ride with Pride Horse Show’s Central Park
venue was closed, but Lynne’s Riding School stepped in and saved the day. They hosted
a mini show for about 25 of our riders on June 21st. It was a perfect day for the proud
riders and their beaming families. And our generous sponsors and Blue Ribbon Donors
raised nearly $60,000 for rider fee subsidies.
We Love our Corporate
Volunteers!
