WANTED! Pegasus Needs Ponies

Pegasus ponies are as unique and special as those we serve.
Our aim is to increase our stable of horses in order to expand our horse-facilitated therapy programs and activities.
Each horse we acquire has the potential to take seven people with a disability (who benefit from our programs) off the waiting list.
We are currently looking for horses to lease or purchase. Of course, donated horses are always gratefully accepted (as long as they meet our requirements below).

Have you got – or know of someone who has – a horse for Pegasus?
If yes, then please contact us for an initial chat. To ensure you know how much your horse is going to be valued and cared for, you are always welcome to visit our farm to get a feel for the place and talk with us about your horse.
Our horses underpin everything we do at Pegasus – everything we are able to do for our very important program participants and handlers. As such, our horses’ physical and mental well-being is of paramount importance to us, and you can be absolutely confident that should your horse become a Pegasus horse, they will have a truly wonderful home.
For further information, please contact our Horse Manager 'Maya' on email or 02 6254 9190.
