Notes

Pegasus Special Riders is an organization that provides children and adults with special needs an activity that is both therapeutic and fun, in a safe, supportive, non-competitive environment. Each client's weekly lesson includes both riding and care of the horse, so a relationship can develop between the person and the animal. Pegasus is an all volunteer organization. We have clients residing in Stephenson, Lee, Ogle and Winnebago counties, coming from the Village of Progress, Milestone, Kreider Services and private recommendations.
