Specialties
Situated atop a rise with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains of WNC, and less than 20 minutes drive from downtown Asheville, Pegasus Hill Farm offers year-round horseback riding lessons, horse boarding and training, a summer camp, and a spot in our community of like-minded horse-loving friends and family!
At Pegasus Hill Farm, we specialize in biomechanical horsemanship, where harmony and communication between rider and horse is paramount. Our training approach utilizes a background of natural horsemanship and dressage, setting the stage for a balanced, effective, and rewarding experience in the hunter and jumper rings. Lessons at our farm prepare students for growth and accomplishment in riding skills and ability, fun and excitement at home or on the trails, and success in the show ring for those who seek it. We coach all ages and stages of riding, from beginner child and adult to intermediate/advanced.
History
Established in 2015.
We closed on the 26 acre property at the end of 2015, and our journey began! The new barn is now complete! As is a brand new giant outdoor arena. Stay tuned for a covered arena in the coming months.
Meet the Business Owner: Kate D.
I have had a love of horses for as long as I can remember. I grew up show jumping on the East end of Long Island, NY. As a young adult, I taught riding lessons, and then, when I went away to school, I rode in the open division on the intercollegiate equestrian team at Savannah College of Art and Design. While living in Georgia, I managed a hunter show barn, and I learned to appreciate the value of hard work and a clean and organized facility. Still, while my riding continued to improve, the protocol for horse care I had grown up with didn't sit right with me; I found the horsemanship lacking. The desire to start my own farm, where we would treat the horses with love and respect, and foster a community of like-minded equestrians was always in the forefront of my mind. Today, it is a reality; welcome to Pegaus Hill Farm!!
