    Pegasus is the first modern equestrian event management system, making it easy to register for and manage equestrian events of all sizes and disciplines. We built it for riders, organizers, and brands to streamline payments, paperwork, scheduling/scoring, and help keep everyone in the know at equestrian events. - Servicing all disciplines: We serve clinics and horse shows for English and Western disciplines as well as full competition management features for Hunter Jumper, Dressage, and Eventing, with more to come. - End-to-end entry and management: From registration payment and paperwork, to scheduling and scoring, all features are in-house for a seamless experience. - Unlimited digital paperwork: Cloud-hosted for free, forever. - In-app stall and feed purchase: It just makes sense to have it all in one place. - Self-guided software training: We made it easy for your staff to learn how to use our event management system. - In-house engineering team: Our software engineers are full-time, in-house Silicon Valley developers, meaning we can build new features for you, fast. - Extensive roadmap: We release new features every 2 weeks. We won't stop until we can service professional competitions across all disciplines. - Mobile App: making managing horse show and clinic admin easier for all (including spectators and horse show dads) - Clear, transparent pricing: Flat service fee, that's it. Includes credit card fee. No upfront costs nor subscription fees. The fee is capped for large events, ensuring cost-efficiency for organizers. - Included 24/7 customer support: Every event oraanizer has access to immediate customer service, no matter the size of your event
