Riding with disabilities

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

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 90 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 therefore have a restricted 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.
