Pegasus Hill Farm is the place in WNC for horseback riding and boarding

Kate Dilworth, owner, manager, principal trainer

I grew up show jumping on the east end of Long Island, NY and have had a love for horses as long as I can remember. As a young adult, I taught horseback riding lessons to kids, and then, when I went away to school, I rode in the open division on the intercollegiate equestrian team at Savannah College of Art and Design. While living in Georgia, I managed a hunter show barn, where I learned to appreciate the value of hard work and a clean and organized facility.

While my riding continued to improve, the protocol for horse care I had grown up with didn’t sit right with me; I found the horsemanship lacking. The desire to start my own farm, where we would treat the horses with love and respect and foster a community of like-minded equestrians was always in the forefront of my mind. Today, it is a reality; welcome to Pegasus Hill Farm!!

I believe strongly in continuing education and constantly strive to further my horsemanship, dressage, and jumping training. As a horse professional, I am always learning and I love every minute of it! I regularly host and participate in clinics with Amy Lynn Jones (USDF silver medalist) and Trent Benton (natural horsemanship of Stars Peak Valley Ranch in NC), and I take lessons with Jenny Fair (eventing expert at Elhanan Equestrian in SC) and Amy Nichols (eventing expert at Smiling Horse Farm in SC).

Pegasus Hill Farm, the best place to ride in WNC

I’m a gorgeous hunter/jumper/dressage horse farm with amazing blue WNC mountain views just outside of Weaverville, NC, and only 20 minutes from Asheville, NC. Everyone says what a beautiful and friendly place I am to take horseback riding lessons and/or to board your horse! I have a brand new GIGANTIC outdoor riding arena and a huge back field for schooling your horse over fences or on the flat. My 18 stall barn is newly constructed and sparkling clean, with heated/cooled feed room and boarder’s and school horse tack rooms. Plans for the covered dressage arena are underway; construction will start in early 2020!
