We had a blast yesterday at the 12th Annual Putnam County Veterans Chow Down!

It was wonderful to reconnect with graduates from our past veterans cohorts and meet new faces who were learning about Pegasus Therapeutic Riding and our veterans programs for the very first time!

We love opportunities like these to reconnect, build new relationships, and share how horses can make a difference in the lives of those who have served.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, and to the organizers for putting together such a great event! ❤️🐴

🐴 We are honored to be part of such a meaningful experience for Women Veterans! Thank you to the Barbara Giordano Foundation for making this day possible and to the New York State Department of Veterans' Services for sharing this beautiful story.

Moments like these remind us of the powerful connections between horses and people. 🇺🇸

💙 Thank you to the incredible team from .co for spending the day volunteering at Pegasus Therapeutic Riding! 🐴

From replacing arena top plates and painting our volunteer lounge to landscaping our sensory paddock and hanging curtains in our office, the NYSEG team rolled up their sleeves and helped us tackle projects all across the farm!

Despite some uncooperative weather, their flexibility, hard work, and willingness to jump in wherever needed made a tremendous difference.

Volunteers like these help us keep Pegasus a welcoming, safe, and beautiful place for our participants, horses, and community.

Thank you, NYSEG, for sharing your time, talents, and energy with us! We are so grateful for your support! 💙

🐴 Welcome to the Pegasus Board of Directors, Jim Rathschmidt!

We are thrilled to welcome Mahopac resident Jim Rathschmidt to the Pegasus Board of Directors!

Jim is a dedicated community leader and co-founder of United for the Troops, a nonprofit he established with his wife, Patty, in 2007 to send care packages to U.S. military personnel serving overseas. Through their efforts, more than 36,000 care packages have been sent to servicemen and women around the world.

Jim also has a special connection to Pegasus. As a graduate of our Veterans Program and a volunteer horse handler, he has experienced our mission firsthand and continues to give back through his time at the farm.

His passion for service, nonprofit experience, and personal connection to our programs will bring a valuable perspective to our Board.

Please join us in welcoming Jim to the Pegasus Board of Directors!
