Directions to Pegasus

Pegasus is easy to find: From I-10 take Cook Street north across Varner Road to Chase School Road. Turn right on Chase School Road  until pavement ends. Continue east on graded  road(approximately 1/4 mile). Chase School Road dead ends at Pegasus,  where you will enter an atmosphere so powerful that one visit can change your life.

Mission Statement

  • To provide full body range of motion exercise on horseback called equine therapy to as many certified handicapped children, child/adults and adults as possible.
  • To gently ease each rider into a program of physical exercise tailored to his or her needs.
  • For the physically impaired, to develop some usable muscles and joints.
  • For the mentally handicapped, to provide psychological and emotional benefits derived from riding a horse such as learning to concentrate, the discipline of following directions and a sense of empowerment that comes with steering and controlling a large animal.
  • For riders that have difficulty bonding with humans, to offer an opportunity to develop trust and confidence by bonding with a horse.
  • To look at the ability of a person rather than the disability.
  • To believe that everyone is worthy.
  • TO KNOW THAT MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!
