For riders, bring your BEST horse and join us for a full day of horse fun! (For the safety of all of our participants, please no green horses.) We will start with a COSTUME CONTEST in our covered 200' x 100' Pegasus arena! Dress your horse and yourself in your most creative Halloween costumes and participate in mounted contests for prizes. Afterwards, we will explore the ranch and a neighboring tree farm on a nice, easy-paced, guided ride through wooded trails and along gorgeous, open hay meadows. There will also be a "poker run" for prizes. Non-riders are encouraged to come and enjoy the day with us and participate in the poker run and games. Following the ride, we will have a hot catered meal from Torchy's Tacos with complimentary drinks (beer, wine, water and soda). You'll also receive an event T-shirt and professional photographs of you and your horse.
Our Pegasus shop will be open for you to pick up the latest Pegasus logo apparel. You don't want to miss out on our newest fall fashions!

A Note from Allyson
North Texas Giving Day
Preliminary Results Are In
On September 17th The Pegasus Project participated in the Communities Foundation of Texas' North Texas Giving Day. This was our sixth year to be a part of this fantastic event, and we raised just over $67,000! We are pleased with our results and are grateful for everyone who donated.
$35,000 of the funds raised came from our challenge fund donors,** who, in advance of North Texas Giving Day, put up matching funds to encourage others to give. Knowing that their gifts would be matched dollar-for-dollar was true incentive for the rest of our donors.
Pegasus is due to collect additional bonus funds paid by CFT. Bonus fund amounts are based upon a percentage of all the 197,620 gifts (totaling more than $58 million) made that day to the more than 3200 participating nonprofits. We are humbled by the generosity of donors for all of these deserving North Texas charities.
As excited as we are with our success on North Texas Giving Day, we must remind ourselves that this work never ends. We often go from one crisis to the next. One fundraiser ends, another begins. One horse gets adopted, another neglected horse comes through the gates. It's a never-ending cycle of pain, joy, hardship, success, heartbreak and triumph. With an annual budget exceeding $500,000, we will utilize the NTGD funds in about two months. Pegasus accomplishes great things, but at great cost.
For now, we are going to revel in our success and celebrate our fantastic supporters. If you were one of our NTGD donors, please give yourself a pat on the back. It is amazing what can be accomplished when people come together for a united purpose. When individuals support their passions and realize that EVERY dollar truly does count, remarkable things happen. If you donated through the NTGD website, you would have immediately received a receipt via email. If you need to request that receipt, please click the following link, and CFT will resend it to you: NTGD RECEIPT If you were a Challenge Fund Donor or if you made a donation directly to The Pegasus Project, you will be receiving your receipt via regular mail. We appreciate you all so very much! Allyson DeCanio President, The Pegasus Project Send inquiries to: allyson@MyPegasusProject.org
