Annie - Corgi Hollow Farm Chapter

Hellooooooooooo, my name is Annie. I just happen to be THE LUCKIEST HORSE in the world! Many years ago, I was rescued and came to live at Corgi Hollow Farm, which is a really nice place. I was taught to become a very good therapy horse and now I get to take care of my riders like everyone at Pegasus takes care of me. I have a super- smooth gait and love walks on the trails. You should find me pretty easily – my spots give me away. In case you’re wondering, I’m a 15- hand Appaloosa mare and going strong at 27 years young.


 

Bubbles - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

Good day, lads and lassies. My name is Bubbles, and I am a chestnut Shetland pony mare. You know me – I’m the cute one! Good things come in small packages, so at 12 hands tall, I’m perfect for tiny riders. Did anyone tell you how much I love dressing up? Just come check me out when I star in the Annual Pegasus Horse Show Costume Class.


 

CJ - New Canaan Chapter

Moooorning...or maybe it’s afternoon already! See, my easygoing demeanor and really smooth natural gait make me a very good therapy horse. I’m a 17-year-old chestnut gelding, and it’s a good thing I found this really important job, because I was a little too slow to win the Kentucky Derby. Yup, I was a Thoroughbred racehorse, 16 hands tall and really handsome. Wanna race?


 

Classico - Ox Ridge Hunt Club Chapter

Bonjour, mes amis!!! I’m imported from Canada and working very hard to get my English down. I really love children, like to learn and am eager to please, so becoming a therapy horse has been a lot of fun and very rewarding. It’s pretty well known that I like to horse around, and I love putting on costumes. But I also know when it’s time to go to work. Almost forgot to tell you that I’m a 12-year-old gelding, 16 hands tall and a Tobiano/Warmblood Cross.


 

Cloudy - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Hi! I'm Cloudy, and I love living at Kelsey Farm with my best friend, Mars. I've had a lot of fun competing at horse shows and doing hunter paces and pony clubbing, but now I'm into the serious stuff -- therapeutic riding. The kids love me because I’m nice and solid, and I'm handsome too! Grey is such a nice color for a Welsh pony. I also have a very interesting challenge to deal with -- I’m allergic to flies! But thanks to the great folks at Kelsey, I have a special suit that protects me. How lucky am I?


 

Cortell - New Canaan Chapter

Cortell here! My riders are super-special, and I do my best to treat them very well. I’ve been at this gig awhile, and the smiles on the kids’ faces never get old. I’m pretty unique, and my choppy steps really help riders build up their strength. I’m a chestnut Morgan pony gelding, 14 hands, and at 32-years young, I’m one of the Pegasus senior staff. But I’m still young enough to have won the 2007 Pegasus Therapeutic Horse of the Year Award!


 

Dixie - Pegasus Farm Chapter

So what if I’m only 11 hands tall? My name is Dixie, and I’m a gray 16-year-old classic Welsh Cross pony with a little extra attitude and alpha mare packed into me. I like to think of myself as pony mare extraordinaire because I’m an outstanding therapy horse and clearly a favorite of our young riders at the Farm. Plus I’m real cute. In case anyone is heading to the store, I love apples. Special deliveries to the first stall on the left at Pegasus Farm are always appreciated.


 

Dundee - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Yo, guys! Check out my multicolored mane and awesome dorsal stripe! I’m Dundee, and I’m a 14-year old geurrulla gelding pony about 13 hands tall. Geurrulla is a pretty cool color, huh? Just don’t try to look it up in Webster’s or find it in a box of crayons. You should see me jump. I still compete as a show pony, but it doesn’t compare to working with my Pegasus riders, especially beginners. I love a good challenge.


 

Edgar Allan Pony - Corgi Hollow Farm Chapter

Did I hear it’s someone’s birthday, because I sure do love cake! My name is Edgar Allan Pony and I’ll bet you I’m the only Shetland pony you will ever meet who is a published author! Yes, The Alphabet According to Edgar Allan Pony is a children’s favorite. I’m an 11-year-old black gelding, and I’m a tough, smart little guy with an outgoing personality. Believe it or not, at 11 hands, I’m very tall for my breed. You can find me over at Corgi Hollow, where I love working with Pegasus riders and the kids who are learning how to care for me and my friends in the barn education program. In my spare time, I love pulling a cart or even a sleigh through the snow.


 

Foxy - Pegasus Farm Chapter

Hi everyone, I’m Foxy! I'm a liver chestnut 20-year-old Welsh cross mare, and I’m in charge of the little pony mares at Pegasus. When I first got here, Miss Dixie thought she was the boss, but we had a little talk, and now she works for me! I’m also the star of the agility class we do with volunteers and staff. Nothing surprises me – no matter what sights or sounds I encounter, I just keep on doing my thing! I guess my past jobs as a summer camp lesson pony and trail ride pony really prepared me well for Pegasus. I love my new home!


 

Elmo - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Elmos are supposed to be cute, kind and sweet, aren’t they? Maybe that’s why kids are so comfortable around me, and why I can really help them build their riding confidence. Wow, thinking about it, over the past 19 years, I’ve taught hundreds and hundreds of kids to ride. I am a 13-hand Welsh Cross bay gelding, and I was a National Champion show pony. AND, I also know how to pull carts! It has been the perfect training to get me ready to become a Pegasus therapy horse. I just love my job!


 

Hobbs - Pegasus Farm Chapter

It’s pretty tough keeping this stylish figure at 15 years young when you love treats as much as me. The name is Hobbs, or “Sweet for Certain,” as I’m known in the horse show world. That name says it all, considering my sweet personality and sweet tooth. I’m a 15-hand chestnut Appendix pony gelding. I learned how to be a therapy horse at Corgi Hollow after a pretty accomplished competitive career. I recently moved to Pegasus Farm and am working really hard with all sorts of riders.


 

Honey Bun - Pegasus Farm Chapter

Ok, so I’m a little flashy to go along with being sweet and calm. Please don’t hold it against me. I’m Honey Bun, and you can’t miss my beautiful chestnut color. I’m a 21-year-old Welsh Cross pony mare about 13 hands tall. I was once a show pony in the Short Stirrup Division, so I’m really well-suited for working with young children at Pegasus who are just learning to ride.


 

Ideal - Pegasus Farm Chapter

It’s a long way from Holland, but I’m glad that I made the trip. My name is Ideal, and I’m a Dutch Warmblood who was bred to be a champion show jumper. I just don’t have enough room in my stall at Pegasus for all my awards. I’m a 19-year-old gelding, pretty big at 16 hands tall, and my black color really stands out. Most importantly, I’m a calm guy and have a real big stride, which is a great quality in a therapy horse.


 

Jack - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

Greetings from Pleasantville! I'm Jack, and I came on board with Pegasus in March 2010. I'm a 14-year-old blue roan gelding, and I absolutely love my riders and my new job as a Pegasus therapy horse. I am known to be very calm, sweet and quiet, and everyone says I'm a perfect gentleman!


 

Jesse - Ox Ridge Hunt Club Chapter

Hi, there. I’m Jesse, but you can just call me mom. Yes, I’ve had three babies, and now I get to take care of Pegasus riders just like they were my own. I’m very patient and take direction from my leader really well. If you are ever down at our Ox Ridge chapter, you may find me hanging out with my very best friend, Classico. Oh, they also wanted me to tell you that I’m a 17-year-old Canadian Cheval/Morgan pony.


 

Joey - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

Hi! I'm Joey, and I'm having a blast as part of the Pegasus team! I may be on the smaller side (13 hands or so) and at 17, I'm starting to get up there in years, but I really like to move. Just ask my leader and sidewalkers about the workout I give them! Hey, I say let's all stay in shape, and my riders sure are happy to be on the go!


 

Jingles - Pegasus Farm Chapter

I’m the famous Jingles, and I’m a 21-year-old 14-hand chestnut Welsh Cross pony gelding. Do you know who makes the finest model horses in the world? Well, its Breyer, and each year they have a big contest where they name a National Horse of the Year. You can’t imagine how excited everyone at Pegasus was when I was selected for this honor in 2006 because of the work I did with children. They even made a very special model toy of me and told the Pegasus story on the package. I’m a favorite gift and a hot seller on eBay!
 

Libby - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

I'm Libby, a lovely gray 14-hand mare who's 17 years old. I'm having fun and learning a lot about my new job with Pegasus. Don't get me wrong - I always keep my riders safe. I'm still just working on the ins and outs of trotting with the team. It seems that I like a rider who uses a little leg to encourage me to get moving - then I'm perfect!


 

Melos - Pegasus Farm Chapter

Greetings, friends! My name is Melos, and I've relocated from Sunnyfield Farm in Bedford, N.Y., to start a great new life as a therapy horse. I'm a 20-year-old Dutch Warmblood bay gelding who had a very distinguished career as a Grand Prix dressage horse in Europe. I'm a big boy who's perfect for teen and adult riders, and my unflappable "go with the flow" demeanor makes me a good fit in general for my work here at Pegasus.


 

Molony - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Howdy, pardners! Did you see the movie City Slickers? Well I’m an 11-year-old chestnut Quarter Horse gelding about 15 hands tall and straight out of Arizona. Yup, they had me working as a cow pony until I came east a couple years ago and learned to jump. I love Mondays at Kelsey Farm because that’s when the Pegasus riders are there. My favorite thing to do is therapeutic riding lessons.


 

O'Malley - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! I’m O’Malley, and as a 19-year-old 16-hand chestnut Quarter Horse gelding, I make a fine Irish cowboy. I also feel like the luck of the Irish is with me, because I love being a Pegasus therapy horse and have the perfect attitude for the job. My riders really respond well to my style. In fact, a Pegasus graduate still brings me to shows to keep my competitive spirit going strong.


 

Packer - Pegasus Farm Chapter

I’m Packer, the “Pegasus Patriarch,” and I have been at this game for quite awhile. I’m an Appaloosa pony or, officially, a “Pony of the Americas,” and I’m stuck on 29 years young. A long time ago, I was a backyard pet, but over the years, I have taught thousands to ride. I’m brown, gray and white, and I stopped growing at about 12 hands, so young riders are a perfect fit. My fellow therapy horses can learn a thing or two from this old boy!


 

Petey - Pegasus Farm Chapter

Hi everyone! I’m Petey, and I’m pretty new to Pegasus Farm. I’ve had quite a life and built up many frequent flier miles. I did really well as a show pony and got to fly all over the country. I was born a Welsh pony and then surprised everyone when I grew big enough to be considered a horse. I’m a bay gelding who now stands 15 hands tall. I made a career change and became a Zen master because of my inner peace. I got a lot of practice around kids in my former life, thanks to Pony Club and the school bus stop that used to be at the end of my pasture. Pegasus is the perfect place for me, and I’m so happy!


 

Rambo - New Canaan Chapter

Charge!!! My name might give it away, but if not, I am a real Mongolian War Pony! I’m a 14-year-old gelding and pretty unflappable and strong-willed. That makes for a very good therapy horse. At 14 hands, I have plenty of room in my belly for treats. If you hear me banging on my stall door, I’m sending you a signal that my sweet tooth is calling.


 

Razz - New Canaan Chapter

Razzle dazzle, my name is Razz! I’m a 12-hand Appaloosa (Pony of the Americas) gelding, and I am 23 years young. In my prior career, I was a highly schooled show pony who loved getting all dolled up for horse shows. Did you guess that my favorite holiday is Halloween? I especially like dressing up in my Halloween costumes! I’ve always been kind and gentle, so it was very natural to become a Pegasus therapy horse.


 

Remy - Pegasus Farm Chapter

My name is Remy, and I’m a long way from where I was born. I’m an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood bay gelding and very handsome…or so I am told all the time! I’m big at 16 hands and definitely the best athlete at Pegasus Farm. I was a really good adult jumper and loved competition. But don’t let that fool you. I’m calm and gentle by nature, and I’m loving my job here at Pegasus. As great as my former career was, my work at Pegasus is the most rewarding. I’m looking forward to being a part of the program here for a very long time!


 

Sambuca - Pegasus Farm Chapter

My name is Sambuca, and I love tricking kids who think I’m a cow because of my black-and-white spots. Actually, I am a 9-year-old Overo Pinto pony that is 14 hands tall. I’ve always been gentle and kind, and I’m very dependable. I used to work in the show ring and loved being on the trails. I’ve really settled into a great life at Pegasus Farm with lots of friends. I love lessons up on the sensory trail.


 

Snickers - Pegasus Farm Chapter

I’m Snickers, and I’m a native Canadian. I’m a 14-year-old Palomino gelding, and I stand 14 hands tall. You might have seen me on the show pony circuit or as a Pegasus therapy horse at Kelsey Farm. I am really even-tempered with a good attitude in the riding ring. But when hanging out with my friends, I love being the boss!


 

Sparky - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

See that ribbon in my picture? I received it on the best day of my life. I had just won the 2006 Pegasus Horse of the Year Award. I also helped a rider named Sam win the first-ever Michele Arnhold Independent Rider Award at the 2009 Pegasus Horse Show. I’m Sparky, a Palomino gelding, 15 hands tall and going strong at 20 years young. I’m sweet and versatile, which is really good for teaching people to ride.


 

Spunky - New Canaan Chapter

Greetings from the distinguished gentleman of the Pegasus herd. I’m the 22-year old grey-haired fellow named Spunky. Oh, I’m about 14 hands tall and a very fine Welsh Cross pony. As you probably assume, I’m quite well-traveled and loved life as a fancy show pony. Working with Pegasus makes me feel really important. If you happen to see me raise my leg, that’s my polite way of saying treats please.


 

Tigger - Kelsey Farm Chapter

No, not quite Christopher Robin’s Tigger! I’m Tigger the Talented with a buckskin color, 13 hands tall and 12 years old. As a Quarter Horse Cross, I was trained as a Western pony, as you might figure. But then, I surprised everyone and learned how to perform as an English show pony. I’ve even been known to let people do some pretty neat rope tricks standing on my back. I still compete, but my versatility, hard work, and willingness make me a really good fit for Pegasus.


 

Truman - Kelsey Farm Chapter

Hello, I’m Truman, a 14-year-old Palomino gelding that stands 15 hands tall. People say I remind them of Mr. Ed, but I’m way better looking, much more versatile, and way smarter! Guess what? Before becoming a Pegasus therapy horse, I had a career as a Western show horse. I still stay really busy and compete nearly every weekend, but now I’m in the Children’s Hunter Division. I can’t wait for Mondays, though, because that’s when the Pegasus kids arrive.


 

Tumbleweed - Corgi Hollow Farm Chapter

I’m pretty small at 13 hands tall, but I make up for it in spunk and personality. Until I reached age 10, I was a show pony that won many awards and learned how to drive a cart and sleigh really well. I’m a 30 year young gray (well….white actually!!) Welsh pony mare, and I’ve been living at Corgi Hollow for 16 years. You know what? I never get tired of working with little kids. I try to be humble, but I thought you would like to know that I won the 2002 National NARHA Therapy Horse of the Year Award. And, I’m a Pegasus instructor favorite.


 

Zipper - Fox Hill Farm Chapter

The name's Zipper, and I'm a 15-hand paint who's 14 years old. I'm a favored school horse at Fox Hill, and my new job with Pegasus has also brought me lots of attention. Everyone loves my blue eyes (me and Frank Sinatra), and my riders enjoy my smoothness (also kind of like Frank). And, most importantly, I like my riders too!


 

Zoe - Pegasus Farm Chapter

Hey, anyone else around here from Iowa? I was just 2 when I came east, and I sure developed a liking for the food in this part of the country. As a North American Spotted Draft, part Shire and part Draft, I’m the girl that’s a little hard to miss. In fact, they couldn’t even find an “Adopt-A-Horse” sign big enough for me. Before I became a therapy horse, I was a really good driving horse and loved the trails. I learned a lot at a very young age, and I love continuing to learn in my role here at Pegasus. And now my Pegasus friends are teaching me to become a vaulting horse. Pretty exciting huh? I love my home at Pegasus and all the different jobs I get to do here!
