About
Children and adults ranging from age 3 to 82 with varied levels and types of disabilities are referred to Pegasus Riding Academy for equine therapy from the Coachella Valley Unified School District, private physicians, physical therapists, and various organizations around the Coachella Valley. Each rider is eased into a program of physical exercise geared to their needs. For the physically impaired, riders strengthen their muscles and joints. For the mentally challenged, the riders receive psychological and emotional benefits, such as learning to concentrate and a sense of accomplishment. During 2011, Pegasus had 180 handicapped individuals. In order to qualify for the program, a rider must be deemed handicapped by the Social Security Administration or by the public school system. Classes are held October to May, Wednesday through Saturday, every half hour from 8:30 a.m. until approximately noon. There are up to 6 horses in the ring at a time, and riders always have one trained volunteer on each side of them and a trained volunteer leader who guides the horse.
