"Pegasus is the place, above all others that
I've experienced, where everyone, horse and human, is
respected, cared about and looked after" Maya, Pegasus rider.

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.
