The Equestrian Club at the University of Central Florida was founded in 2002 with four members that were the sole caretakers of UCF's Equine Mascot, "Pegasus." Today, the club is considered a "Tier Three" Sport Club at UCF and includes three competitive teams with over 50 members.

Pegasus is the official academic logo, symbol and mascot of the University of Central Florida (UCF), a public research university with its main campus in unincorporated Orange County, Florida, United States.

We volunteer 3-5 times per year at local animal rescue facilities, horse farms, food shares, and more. Discover unique opportunities at KnightConnect! Find and attend events, browse and join organizations, and showcase your involvement.
