2010 "PEGASUS PREAKNESS": FINAL RESULTS

"Duchess" - 2010 "Preakness" Champion!


Arabian Mare

Birth Year: 1985


Her smooth, easy-going walk and extreme patience make Duchess an ideal match for our more "involved" riders.  Duchess has been a cherished part of the Pegasus Project since the beginning, and has touched the lives of dozens of Pegasus riders over the years.


I raised $1,060 

"Jess"


Appaloosa/Thoroughbred Gelding

Birth Year: 1988


In his former life as a feedlot and trail horse, Jess saw and did it all! Standing at 17 hands, and with his flashy Appaloosa markings, Jess definitely stands out in the herd. Don't let his size fool you though...this gentle "giant" is perfect for our emerging independent riders with his soft mouth and smooth gaits.


I raised $775 

"Nellie"


Quarter Horse/Welsh Pony Mare

Birth Year: 1983


With her quick walk and small size, Nellie is well suited to her job in Hippotherapy as well as working with the younger riders in the Therapeutic Riding program.  One of the more "senior" members of our herd, Nellie hasn't allowed her age to slow her down one bit, and always gives her leader a workout during lessons!


I raised $550 

"Noel"


Fjord Mare

Birth Year: 2002


Noel, a Norwegian Fjord, came to Pegasus in 2007. She was a special acquisition for the program. Due to her size and temperament she is ideal for the hippotherapy program that is provided at Pegasus in collaboration with Children's Village.


I raised $460 

"Arbitar"


Morgan Cross

Birth Year: 1981


Arbitar began her career with Pegasus in February 2010. Her steady, unflapable nature and slow walk make her the perfect fit for our Hippotherapy program. She has a special touch with our younger, more active riders and acts as though she has been doing this her entire life. 


I raised $285 

"Cookie"


Arabian/Saddlebred/Quarter Horse Mare

Birth Year: 1983


Cookie is a retired dressage show horse. She came to Pegasus in 2005. Her flashy markings are often commented on by visitors to the ranch. An excellently trained horse, she has made trotting and cantering a reality for Pegasus riders.


I raised $120 

"Rebel"


Arabian Gelding

Birth Year: 1989


Rebel came to Pegasus in 2008. He is a retired show horse that was shown in pleasure and trail. He has an easy-going disposition that has made him an asset to the program.


I raised $110 

"Charlie"


Appaloosa

Birth Year: 1995


Charlie has had a career in dressage before he came to us. Having schooled third level, Charlie knows all the moves. The key is getting him motivated to do them. A picky horse, Charlie makes his riders ask him to do something correctly before he will do it for them. His high level of training make him a perfect fit for our more advanced riders. With his bright red hair and beautiful snowflake pattern, Charlie catches eyes everywhere he goes.


I raised $100

"Storm"


Morgan Gelding

Birth Year: 2000


Storm came to Pegasus in 2009 from across the mountains. One of the younger members of our herd, his broad, strong back and loving attitude make him a valuable addition to the Program.  His "quirky" personality as quickly made him a favorite with our riders and volunteers alike.


I raised $50

"Fleeta"


Shetland/Arabian/Welsh Mare

Birth Year: 1998


Coming to us all the way from Mt. Vernon, WA, Fleeta has the distinction of traveling the furthest to become part of our herd. Her small size and even gait make her perfect for our hippotherapy program and our smaller riders. Don't let her cuteness blind you, there is a smart pony mind under all that hair. A quick, curious learner, Fleeta loves to investigate all the toys that are being used for lessons, and it doesn't take her long to acclimate to new things.
