BIG NEWS about a familiar Pegasus face!!🐴🎓

We are so excited to officially announce that Bennie is now a full-time member of the Pegasus herd!

After spending three summers with us as a free lease, Bennie has officially “graduated” from the DelVal Equine Program in September 2026 and is ready to trade in college life for full-time Pegasus life! 😉

This 21-year-old registered Gypsy Vanner has had quite the career, with experience ranging from fox hunting, to college life, to being a therapy horse. Over the years, Bennie has become such a beloved part of our herd, and we couldn’t be happier that he gets to call Pegasus home year-round.

We are incredibly thankful to the DelVal Equine program for trusting us with this super special boy and allowing him to “graduate” into his next chapter with Pegasus. 💙
Welcome home, Bennie!! 🤗

🙏☺️ 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂 ☺️🙏
We would like to take a moment to recognize and thank one of our amazing volunteers, Diane Widdop, and her partner, Barbara Nevin, for their incredible generosity and support of the Pegasus herd.

When Diane heard about a special opportunity to help our horses, she was immediately all in! Thanks to the generosity of Diane & Barbara, Pegasus was able to purchase a BEMER Horse Set for our herd. 🎉

The BEMER Horse Set is a self-regulated PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) system designed to support circulation, recovery, relaxation, and regeneration. For our horses, it has become a wonderful addition to their routine, helping them relax and recover after their work while supporting their overall well-being.

This unique therapy has quickly become a weekly staple for the herd, and we are so excited to have this resource readily available to our horses whenever they need it.

We are incredibly grateful to Diane & Barbara for helping make this possible! ❤️ And if you ask us, the horses would probably say they are pretty grateful too! Just look at these happy, happy horses!🐴

Thank you, Diane & Barbara, for investing in the comfort and well-being of our herd!
