Pegasus Therapeutic Riding will hold our 29th Annual Pegasus Horse Show -- rain or shine -- on Sunday, May 23, 2010, from 10AM to 3PM at Coker Farm in Bedford, N.Y. Admission is free and open to the public.
The event will showcase the talents of our very special riders during a fun-filled day of horsemanship, art activities, games, awards, raffles, and of course, the ever-popular costume parade.
The Horse Show itself will consist of rider classes demonstrating the skills they have learned during weekly lessons at one of our six chapters. At the end of each class, every rider in the group will receive a ribbon in recognition of his or her achievements. Awards are given for such skills as best steering, best posting trot, best half-seat and best heels down. For the less-experienced riders, the coveted best-smile award awaits them.
The 29th Annual Pegasus Horse Show will be a wonderful opportunity for Pegasus riders to celebrate their accomplishments with family and friends in a unique and welcoming environment. Whether you know a rider personally, love horses, or just want to be a part of a feel-good community event, the Horse Show will be a joyful day of celebrating the human spirit at its very best.
Coker Farm is located at 69 Stone Hill Road (Route 137) in Bedford, N.Y. (see below for directions). Rider classes will begin at 10AM.
