GallopNYC publishes information on its website for Recreational Riding at Sunrise Stables, confirming that group and private riding lessons are open to the general public across all skill levels and ages. The published fee for a 30-minute group lesson is $80 per session, which matches the application fee exactly with uniform pricing for all participants. The class is subject-based horse instruction and horsemanship, does not grant college credits, and is structured separately from the organization's clinical therapeutic riding programs. However, a published schedule detailing specific class days or times is not available on the website, as enrollment is handled on a semester basis via a registration form and email inquiry.
