What New Making Pegasus Owners are Saying:

"Our experience with Making Pegasus has been nothing short of excellent. We purchased our first horse from their vision quest a few months ago and we are beyond pleased. Raphael’s energy is truly something magnificent and special. We are so impressed with his calm, grounded spirit and his willingness to connect and learn. We have been doing groundwork and liberty work to strengthen our bond with him before starting him under saddle, and he continues to amaze us each day. We feel so fortunate to have him in our lives, he brings us such joy. Not only is he physically stunning on the outside, but his inner light is just as significant. The friesian/clydesdale marriage is a fantastic combination for so many reasons. He has certainly become the bar by which we will measure future members of our herd. We appreciate the thorough, prompt and continued communication and smooth facilitation of Janell and the Making Pegasus team. We greatly admire their mission and look forward to adding more of their exquisite horses to our herd in the future."

Beautiful Bailey – A One-in-a-Million Heart and Mind Connection
Located in Lockwood, CA

Meet Bailey — a sweet, affectionate, and incredibly intelligent Georgian Grand mare (½ Friesian, ½ Saddlebred) with a heart of gold. This graceful lady has given us two beautiful foals and is now ready to shine in a new role as a riding partner and lifelong friend.

• Breed: Georgian Grand
• Sired by Sjoerd, 74x National Champion Friesian
• Age: 12 (Foaled 5/10/13)
• Training: Under saddle and currently in professional training
• Movement: Already showing natural collection at the trot — balanced, light, and promising
• Hands: 15.2

Bailey is more than just a beautiful mare — she’s a true “people horse” who craves connection and blossoms with patience and consistent care. She is gentle, kind, and incredibly intuitive. If you take the time to earn her trust, she will give you everything she has.
Her calm, reflective nature would also make her an exceptional therapy horse for the right program or individual — she’s naturally tuned in to people’s emotions and thrives in peaceful, relational environments.

She’s looking for a partner who values the bond, not just the ride. Whether you’re hoping to continue her training, enjoy calm trail rides, or simply build a deep and meaningful relationship, Bailey will be a devoted companion every step of the way.

Last day of breeding and foaling season — and what a productive one it’s been!

We kicked things off back in February with the arrival of our first c**t, Andiamo — which means “Let’s go!” Fitting for how the season unfolded. Pictured here is his gracious mama, Black Magic.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Making Pegasus Team, as well as Dr. Stacy Potter, Shane Easterbrook, Dr. Melissa Patten, and Mark Goforth — your dedication, expertise, and tireless efforts made this season a great success. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Monday morning surprise at the ranch! 🐾✨

As we walked into the grain area this morning, we were greeted by the sweetest little faces peeking out from behind the pallets. A mama cat had decided our ranch was the perfect place to drop off her babies.

Thankfully, they’re now safe and heading to loving foster homes. Grateful for the quick help and big hearts 💝

Wise words!

Chase joy. Not perfection.
