Pegasus Riding for the Disabled of the ACT

Pegasus is an iconic Canberra charity which exists to empower people to develop their abilities.

Established in 1973, Pegasus is located at Pegasus Farm on the outskirts of Canberra, the national capital. Around 80 people each week with a disability participate in our horse-facilitated therapy programs. Pegasus would not survive without the support it receives from the community and more than 250 volunteers.

Our sessions are offered in an integrated environment with participants placed according to their ability.

Why horseriding? Apart from being fun, horse riding helps to improve co-ordination, balance, muscle development and fitness. It also boosts confidence, self-esteem, communication skills, leadership and trust.
