About Pegasus

Pegasus was transferred from Montgomery County in 2022 and placed with Bluebonnet for training and eventual rehoming. He went to a foster where they worked on groundwork and has been ridden before. When working with Pegasus, the foster realized that he is blind in the right eye, but he is willing to learn to adapt.

Pegasus competed in the 2023 Non-Pro Under Saddle division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge and was adopted that day. Through no fault of his own, Pegasus was returned in February of 2025.

Evaluation and Training

Pegasus is a beautiful horse – inside and out. He’s not a fan of arena riding -- the trail is where is shines! He hits his stride walking, providing a smooth trot and gentle lope that eat up the miles. At home, he’ll wait at the gate before feeding time, offering an enthusiastic nicker and toss of his head as you approach.

Although he is deaf and blind in one eye, these disabilities are not readily apparent, and adjustments are easily accommodated. Riding him provides a unique opportunity to focus on communication through body signals. He is gentle, but new riders must earn his trust by convincing him to move forward and correcting him before he circles back to the stalls. Peg is a steady partner when ponying, quiet with authoritative nips should the accompanying horse move too far ahead. He’s a true friend on the ground, enjoying time being bathed or brushed. Another bonus – your secrets are safe with him!
