I live in md and really do not know of any in New York, but the rehab center I was at had a local support group for people with spinal cord injuries. Maybe you could find something like that. Other wise I hope you can find something.

I know that our local chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America sponsors all kinds of events. They have everything from fishing to bowling to quad rugby.

I am advocating for wheelchair mushing but it would not be a sport where you meet lots of other wheelchair persons. At this point, it appears that very very few wheelchair persons participate in this sport/activity. But if you have an interest in horses, you might also have an interest in training a dog to pull you (you can go lots of places with a dog that you can't go with a horse (and visa versa I guess)).
