Pegasus Riding for the Disabled of the ACT will host its vital annual Race Day luncheon this Friday, 26 June, raising money for its life-changing programs.

The event at Thoroughbred Park is amongst the most important days on the Pegasus calendar and helps fund equine-based, therapeutic programs for Canberrans living with a range of disabilities, offering physical, emotional and social benefits that extend well beyond the saddle.

Mary Lishomwa, a Canberra mother whose daughter Abigail is a Pegasus participant discovered the program through the disability community, at a time when Abigail had few social outlets available to her.
