About
Pegasus Park Equestrian Centre is a renowned sports club located in Byron Shire Council, nestled in the hills of Bangalow, just 15 minutes west of Byron Bay. The centre provides an opportunity to submerge oneself in nature and explore Byron Bay's picturesque hinterland and beaches. With a focus on horse riding for people of all ages and all levels of ability, Pegasus Park offers a range of horseback tours and experiences.
Established in the Hinterland of Bangalow in 1994, Pegasus Park was founded on a love for horses, horse riding, and nature. The centre continues to provide quality instruction, coupled with beautiful, well-cared-for, and educated horses. Visitors are invited to come and visit Pegasus Park and connect with their passion for horses and the natural beauty of the region.
At Pegasus Park, there is a selection of beautiful horses available, including Quarter horses, Arabian horses, Thoroughbred horses, stock horses, and ponies for children. As a beginner, the centre ensures safety is a major concern. For those feeling nervous or anxious about riding, private sessions are offered where visitors can meet their horse, receive a safety induction, and learn how to bond with the horse. Nervous horse lovers or those seeking an equine experience without riding can also participate in a safety induction programme to learn how to handle horses, approach them safely, and engage in general ground management.
In terms of safety and health, Pegasus Park assures visitors that all their horses are vaccinated and in good health, addressing concerns regarding the Hendra virus. The centre prioritises the welfare of their horses and appreciates the concern shown by their visitors.
Pegasus Park also offers additional accommodation options at Pool Bangalow Guest House. Small, medium, and large rooms are available, each equipped with a TV, fridge, jug, tea, coffee, and water. Shared bathrooms are provided, with a maximum of two people per room or the option to book all three rooms for a special price.
For riders seeking a more relaxed horse riding experience while enjoying the natural beauty of Byron Bay's hinterland or Lennox Head's open beaches, group and private rides are available. These rides provide the opportunity to learn, sightsee, and experience horse riding under the supervision of enthusiastic and passionate instructors.
Trail rides through Byron's lush hinterland offer a scenic experience, allowing riders to enjoy the fresh air, lush foliage, and picture-perfect views. Pegasus Park also offers group and private lessons in horse riding, basic dressage, and jumping, all supervised by expert E. F. A.
Grade 1 instructors. These lessons focus on advancing riders' techniques and skills.
Overall, Pegasus Park Equestrian Centre welcomes horse lovers and individuals interested in immersing themselves in nature to join them for an unforgettable experience in Byron Shire Council's beautiful surroundings.
