During the week, Pegasus has classes for pre-school and home school special needs children. These riders arrive by private automobile. We also have week day classes for adults from the Stroke Recovery Center, Desert Arc and Angel View.

Pegasus pays to bus special needs riders from all three Unified School Districts in the Coachella Valley. Thanks to generous donations.

Saturdays, riders come from all over the Coachella Valley as well as Riverside, Beaumont and Yucca Valley. Pegasus gets referrals from Specialist at Loma Linda, Ronald McDonald and Shriners Hospital. Private Physicians and Physical Therapist also refer patients.
