Welcome to Pegasus
Who we are
Welcome to Pegasus – a sanctuary for rescued animals and a living home built on empathy.
Pegasus began in 2002 as a place saving horses from slaughter. Over the years, our care has expanded to include many other species: cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, dogs, cats, birds, and wild animals such as foxes, raccoons, and raccoon dogs.
Today, Pegasus is more than a shelter. It is a place where animals who were unwanted, neglected, injured, abused or forgotten can finally live in safety.
Many of our residents will stay with us for life. They need food, medical care, shelter, rehabilitation, patience and time – but also something deeper: respect for who they are.
At Pegasus, every animal has a name.
Every animal has a story.
Every animal matters.
Our mission
We believe empathy is one of the most powerful forces humans have.
We work for a world where care is not an exception, but a natural response. A world where animals are not objects, attractions, or tools – but living beings with needs, boundaries, and dignity.
Our work connects animal rescue with education, volunteering, social action and community building. Because when people meet rescued animals, something changes. They learn to listen more carefully. To move more gently. To see life differently.
During the festival
During the festival, you are not just visiting an event space.
You are entering someone’s home.
This land is home to rescued animals – mostly horses, but also many other beings who found safety here. Please move gently, respect the quiet zones, follow the guidance of our team and let the animals decide the distance.
- Come meet us at the Pegasus stand.
- Hear their stories.
- Hear their stories.
- Support the animals.
- And stay close after the music ends.
A Little Good
With 5 €, we can buy fresh carrots, apples or other small additions to the animals’ daily food.
For rescued animals, these are more than treats. They are part of everyday care — a kind moment, a full mouth, a little comfort and a reminder that life can be gentle now.
A Clean Place to Rest
With 10 €, we can help provide bedding, cleaning supplies or basic materials needed to keep a stall, kennel or resting place clean, dry and safe.
For animals who once lacked even basic care, a clean place to rest means peace, dignity and security.
A Bag of Feed
With 20 €, we can buy a bag of feed, chaff, beet pulp or basic supplements for animals who need special nutrition after illness, hunger, neglect or old age.
Good food is not just food. It is recovery, strength and a chance to feel safe in the body again.
Real Help
With 50 €, we can buy specialist feed, hoof care products, dressings, medicine or cover part of a veterinary visit.
For many rescued animals, healing is made of small acts of care repeated every day — feeding, cleaning, treating, checking, waiting and staying close.
A Part of Their Month
With 100 €, you make a meaningful contribution to the monthly care of one rescued animal.
Your donation helps us buy feed, hay, bedding, supplements or basic medicine — the things animals need every day, no matter what else is happening around us.
Rescue is not only an emergency. It is also the quiet work that continues month after month.
A Month of Safety
With 250 €, you can help cover around one month of basic care for one rescued animal.
That means food, hay, bedding, basic supplements, medicine and daily maintenance — a month of safety for someone who may once have lived without even the minimum of care.
This is a powerful gift. It gives us time, stability and the ability to plan care with more peace.
