Benefits of Pegasus programs

Pegasus's sporting, recreational and therapeutic programs provide physical, social and educational benefits for people with a disability. For more information on the benefits of our programs click here or click on the photo of Grace Bowman below to see a video on how horses can transform lives and help people to achieve their potential.

PEGASUS

Enriching the lives of people of all abilities through relationships with horses

Pegasus Riding for the Disabled of the ACT is a not-for-profit community organisation that provides equestrian activities for people with a disability.

Pegasus is located at Pegasus Farm on the outskirts of Canberra.  About 100 riders with a disability ride at Pegasus each week and about 100 volunteers assist with the operation of our programs.

Our riding lessons are offered in an integrated environment with riders placed in classes according to their ability. We have a limited number of places for able bodied riders in our programs.

Do you want to help make a difference to the lives of our riders and horses? If so, then why not get involved by enquiring about our latest fundraiser Pass the Hat Around for Pegasus and help us to raise the much needed money to keep our programs operating.
