PEGASUS PREAKNESS RESULTS

Every year, the Ponies of Pegasus compete for your support in the "Pegasus Preakness, a fun & exciting on-line fundraising event. Over the course of 6 weeks, each pony hosted a web page of their own and invited you through e-mails & the Pegasus Facebook page to support them by donating to their Preakness Page. The pony who raised the most money won the race and was crowned Pegasus Preakness Champion! (Congratulations Lucy!)

Lucy's laid back personality and even temperament have made her a favorite among staff and volunteers. With a history in western performance, Lucy is versatile enough to handle the beginner and the emerging independent rider alike.

"Jess"


Appaloosa/Thoroughbred Gelding

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.

Quarter Horse Gelding

Coming to us from a volunteer, Buddy has miles of trails under his belt. His stocky build and white coat make him look like he should have a knight in shining armor to ride him. With a wide back and sensitive nature, Buddy loves his smaller riders with quiet hands.

"Fleeta"


Shetland/Arabian/Welsh Mare

Fleeta's 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.
