Very talented right from the start, 2018 BWP Licensing Champion and then winner of PAVO CUP for 4yo stallions, PEGASE also received the BWP Young Stallion Award. He kept in training in the PAVO Cup Tour and in CSI YH while simultaneously pursuing a very busy breeding career.

In 2023, he makes a promising debut in CSI 2*, progressing with brilliant regularity up to 1,45m level : He placed 6^th in Lummen GP 1,40m, 9^th in Bonheiden and ranked well in a 1,45m class in Opglabbeek. He went back to breeding in the second half of the season before returning onto the showgrounds during winter.

PEGASE is the perfect mix of modernity and power. With chic and a beautiful type, he boasts of incredible canter, a lot of scope and a superb hindleg technique. Presumably from his ancestors he inherits of their outstanding cleverness and natural sense for jumping, which he seems to pass on to his offspring too. He will also bring good movement and elasticity. Blood-typed mares seem to suit him perfectly. 

PEGASE has been one of the most popular stallions in Belgium for a few years already. His progeny is highly appreciated in auctions and breeding competitions, the oldest offspring turning 5 this year :
- TARANTION DE RIE, winner of the Belgian Cup for 4yo
