A horse farm in New York City? This one provides therapy to veterans and people with disabilities

Horseback riding might not seem like a typical New York City activity, but one program has several horse farms throughout the city's bustling boroughs. GallopNYC provides lessons to veterans and people with disabilities – horseback riding is their therapy.

Olivia Diver visits the GallopNYC location in the Howard Beach neighborhood in Queens. Right off busy Linden Boulevard, tucked behind shrubbery, is the horse farm. Many of the horses there are rescued.

"They become your friend, like you can talk to them, you can pet them, you can hug them. It's like, they're not just an animal you ride, they're like your companion, your buddy," the 16-year-old told CBS News about the horses there.
