Be sure to grab your favorite cowboy boots, throw on some bling, and join us for a fun evening of delicious food, tasty drinks, music, and celebrating Pegasus!
Our honoree for the evening is Ms. Suzanne McGraw.
Bonding with horses asa child led Sue on the path of advocating for the benefits of therapeutic riding and horsemanship for more than 45 years.
Sue McGraw has advocated for the benefits of equine-assisted activities, like therapeutic riding, for disabled children and adults. As time marched on and the value of therapeutic horsemanship for those with Autism, PTSD, anxiety, and similar conditions became apparent, Sue was there to support these programs as well.
Pegasus is proud to be led by Sue, and we are thrilled to honor her accomplishments, selflessness, benevolence and impact she has made in the equine assisted services community. Join us in celebrating Pegasus' Co-Founder, Board Member, and President Emeritus, Sue McGraw.

McLain Ward is an American Show Jumping Competitor and four-time Olympic medalist. Although, on the surface, Show Jumping and the equine-assisted services offered at Pegasus seem very different, both share a deep respect and love of horses and what they are capable of. “…I believe horses and humans have a connection that draws us to each other. I believe in their own way they know we need them, and they are pleased to be our partner whether it be in work or sport. We need to remember never to take this privilege of working and living with horses for granted...” -McLain Ward
