INFORMATION ABOUT PEGASUS HORSES
In order to maintain our commitment to provide the highest
quality of service, Pegasus continues to have a need for
special horses. The daily reminder of our horses' kindness,
patience and gentle spirit has been an important lesson to our
riders, volunteers and staff.
The following horses have been special to us, we honor them
for the impact they have made to others. Hug and kisses

Clyde, our 11 year old pony that was funded by a Masonic Group is
used in therapy as well as under saddle. He was shown at the HRE of the Devon Horse Show shortly after his purchase. We are
pleased with the animals in our program as they can
only increase in value and service to our riders. We are
always searching for appropriate mounts for our riders.

Petey
Petey is a 12 year old
thoroughbred gelding that was donated to Pegasus. He
was primarily used as a hunter horse and because his owner
could no longer ride, he came to us. His quiet
disposition and willing heart has added a greater
dimension to our program. We look forward to many
years of good service to our riders.

Cherokee is a 16 year old
registered Overo Paint and was donated by Ms Ali in April
2003. He was out in a pasture in New Jersey and not working or
being ridden. He has become an invaluable addition to
the program.

Gus
We've owned Gus, now 12 years old, for over
7 years. He took a brief time away from here to become a member of the
Mounted Police. He's back and doing very well with our
riders. Thank you to Kal Rudman for purchasing him and
allowing his return to Pegasus.

Sergio
Sergio is a 5 year old Halflinger/Belgian
cross bred gelding. He was purchased for the program and
is a happy addition. He was named in honor of a special
child rider who passed away. He works under saddle and in equine
assisted therapy. We expect good things from this horse as
his training continues under the capable hands of Sarah Del
Ricci.

Casey
Casey our 8 Year Old, Percheron gelding
was
purchased for the program - he was a carriage horse in New
York. He is being used in our therapy program with great
success. His temperament and ability are superior.

Banjo
Our smallest horse is Banjo. He stands only 29" at the shoulder! Banjo is a great ambassador for new riders with his gentle temperament and soft coat. Our current riders enjoy grooming him with ease from the comfort of their wheelchairs. He is a one year-old Miniature horse on lease from “Straight from the horses mouth” equine dental practice. Banjo also attends events to promote Pegasus such as the Autism Walk.

Buddy
Buddy is a 23 year old Quarterhorse. He is on lease to our program by Chapter One Farms in Pedrickstown, New Jersey. At Chapter One, Buddy gave trail rides and lessons to a young boy with autism. This experience helped Buddy prepare for his future at Pegasus. Buddy attended his first horseshow with Pegasus in October of 2007 helping his rider bring home a fouth place ribbon!

Gabe
A pony with a gloomy past fell into our hands in 2006. Gabe was a rescued pony. An unwanted childhood pony left behind by his owner. He had not been handled in over 2 years and was covered with burs, but you would never have known. His manners and sweet personality immediately made him a favorite in the barn. Gabe was placed into lessons soon following his arrival to Pegasus. He is such an important part of our program, and we are so happy to give him a second chance at life.
Timber
Our largest horse in the barn is Timber, a 17 year old Belgian. Timber came from the Pennsylvania Pocono region. He was a logging horse. Everyday he pulled large piles of logs through the woods where machinery does not fit so well. He also gave trail rides through the mountains. Timber has the sweetest personality and will smile on command. He is truly a gentle giant.
Zack
Zack is an 11 year old Quarterhorse. He has a “let’s work” mind set just like a cowboy’s trusty steed. He is also on lease from Chapter One Farms in Pedrickstown, NJ. Our experienced riders enjoy the challenge of riding Zack under saddle.
