Therapeutic Horsemanship Programs Expansion Toolkit

GallopNYC, a nonprofit organization that provides therapeutic horsemanship programs to children and adults with disabilities, has an ambitious plan to expand its programs to serve more people across New York City. This expansion involves setting up new sites across four boroughs, primarily serving clients with disabilities as well as the broader community. GallopNYC engaged a Capstone team to develop a toolkit for all new potential sites that assesses the feasibility of services and operations. The toolkit provides GallopNYC with methods and frameworks for assessing community needs, analyzing competitors and partners, and conducting financial modeling that includes different pricing strategies and sensitivity analyses. The team also completed a case study that applied the toolkit to a potential new site in order to determine its feasibility and recommend potential program design and pricing.
