SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, THE PEGASUS WAY

Masterclasses.
Learn from the best.
Feel what’s possible.

The buzz of riding. The thrill of a breakthrough. The inspiration to take your next step.

A golden opportunity to learn from some of the best in the sport. Our masterclasses bring visiting Olympic, World Cup and Grand Prix riders and coaches to Pegasus, sharing the experience, insight and training ideas that make riding at this level so inspiring.

EXTRAORDINARY RIDERS. REAL CONVERSATIONS.

Up close.
A world of inspiration.

The learning does not stop when you step out of the saddle. Between rides and during breaks, there is a chance to talk, ask questions and hear the stories behind the sport: the journeys, the challenges and what keeps exceptional riders reaching for more.

Fresh eyes

A new pair of expert eyes can help you see a familiar challenge differently and find a clearer way forward.

02

New ways to train

Explore techniques, exercises and the small details you can take into your everyday riding.

03

A spark to take home

Hear what drives riders at the top of the sport, and leave with fresh motivation for your own journey.
