There are many things going on in Pegasus. Thats why we would like to share what some of the riders and friends that participate in our activities feel. If you already are part of our center you can send us your story and feelings. For the moment we are sharing three messages of our riders".
"What I like most at Pegasus is that everyone is very kind and cooperative...
I like two horses that are named Dali and Gitana. They love carrots.
I always need to take looots of them to be able of feeding both of them.
Gitana is very pretty and Dali very affectionate. I do some gymnastics exercises while riding Gitana and its fun
I LOVE THE CENTER!! I LOVE HORSEBACK RIDING!!"

"Hi, I want to introduce you mi greatest treasure. His name is Fernando Dario Rodriguez Francia. He is 9 years old and he was born with cerebral palsy. His pathology has some features of other ones too, thats why I am always searching and reading about therapies that will stimulate him and help him to have a better quality of life and to be happy.
In therapeutic riding we found all that, I never imagined it would be such a success!! Dali, the horse he rides is so tender! Fernando counts the days remaining for his riding session. It has helped him a lot, improving very much his spasticity, his balance and his motor functions. The neurologist is very happy with Fernando´s improvements, and for me this is priceless, I have no words.
I also enjoy to be in touch with nature and I am very gratefull to Clementina, Mariana and Susana, and with everyone working in Jacksonville, all of them are very affectionate.
Thank you. Martha (Fernando's grandmother)"
"As Miguel de Cervantes said: freedom is one of the most precious gifts that ths skies gave men. And the best way to feel our freedom with its maximun expression is galloping on a horse in a large field, feeling the wind in our face and watching the grass flutter.
Thats the exact moment where horse and rider are one and nothing stops them, because thats their own moment.
Its just something short, but its how I feel when I ride. I hope you all are ok and Im sure we will meet again during summer!
Pet Dali and Gitana for me."
Ale
