Room to Grow
While the majority of students reside in Nassau and Suffolk counties, there is substantial representation from the five boroughs of New York City. Pal-O-Mine's goal is to provide services to as many individuals with disabilities as possible, without compromising the quality of the program.

Maryellen
|
For Maryellen, congenital rubella adversely affected her sight, hearing and speech, and severely limited muscle function in all four limbs. When Maryellen started riding in 1993, she required a leader and two sidewalkers and lacked enough neck strength to support her head while riding. By patiently working with her, Maryellen now rides independently, both at the walk and the trot!
