For Pat Walters, 2016 is a dream come true.  This is the year Pegasus Center, the therapeutic riding program she had held as a small light in a pocket close to her heart, became a reality. 

 

For decades, this reality stayed just a dream as other dates and experiences took priority –raising her special needs child and getting him through college, finding the courage to believe in herself and move on her own across the country, holding her family together as her children grieved their father for whom cancer had taken much too soon.  All the while, Pegasus Center shone as a small light in her pocket.

 

Ever since Pat's childhood, horses have been her guiding force, and through the years life's joy, sweat, and tears have been shared with them. Experiencing firsthand the power of this relationship, Pat began her own journey in therapeutic riding programs and later became certified as a PATH Intl. instructor. As the years went on this light grew as Pat watched the positive transformation within both children and adults as they built relationships with the horses and each other. She knew that she would one day realize her dream to develop her own therapeutic center to continue helpings others through their own life challenges. Her goal was to help give back to the community in which she lived. She didn't know how she would start this and didn't want to do it by herself............ and then she met Isaac.​
