Charity Auction

SOC2010 Charity Auction

Every year, the SOC concludes with a parts and memorabilia auction, the proceeds of which are donated to charity. This year, the proceeds from the SOC2010 Charity Auction will benefit Pegasus Farm, a premier theraputic horseback riding center in Northeast Ohio since 1985, as well as the Double H Ranch in Lake Luzerne, NY.

So make sure to stick around on Sunday and bid up some items for a great cause!

About Pegasus Farm

Mission

The mission of Pegasus Farm is to maximize the potential of persons with disabilities to become independent, well-rounded, self-confident individuals by providing horseback riding along with recreational and social support.

Pegasus Farm is dedicated to the idea that horseback riding has exceptional physical and psychological benefits, challenging riders with disabilities to achieve control they may not experience in day-to-day life.

Who We Serve

Pegasus Farm now serves about 800 individuals with disabilities annually.

On a weekly basis more than 238 students participate in our therapeutic programming and at times there may be a list of people waiting for an opening in a class appropriate to their needs. In 2008, Pegasus Farm provided 9,688 client contact hours of service. By age, we serve students from three to ninety, but 74% are between the ages of four and twenty.

Our program participants may have emotional, behavioral, cognitive or physical disorders or a combination.

Pegasus Farm serves residents of eight counties throughout Northeast Ohio.
