The New York City Riding Academy needs your help.
​​
 As a not-for-profit organization, raising funds to keep the program running and maintaining the facility is always a challenge.  ​A number of our structures have been badly damaged from storms and overall wear and tear.  
​
We need your help to raise funds to make the needed major repairs/replacements. 

The images below show the details of damage.
