Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Philadelphia, PA dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding programs and equine-assisted services (EAS) for children and adults with disabilities, diagnoses, and those in at risk populations. Pegasus is a PATH International (Professional Association for Therapeutic Horsemanship) Premier Accredited Center. As the city’s only full-time therapeutic riding program, Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy seeks to improve the quality of life for our program participants and their families. Led by PATH-certified instructors, we provide over 100 lessons per week to people with disabilities, helping riders improve muscle strength, flexibility, motor skills, communication, mental focus, and self-esteem. We also feature an autism program, a 6-week summer program, a all inclusive 4-H program, a Back In the Tack program, and an unmounted equine facilitated learning program.
Please note, all volunteers ages 18 and older are required by Pennsylvania State Law to obtain Child Abuse History Clearance and a PA Criminal History report.
