We’re proud to share that Pegasus Equestrian International Resort & Venue was selected to present at The Boardroom: From Pitch to Capital at the 2026 International Mass Timber Conference in Portland on March 31st from 2-4 PM — a live, deal-focused session built around real projects, direct investor feedback, and real capital.

On nearly 3,000 acres in northern Douglas County, Oregon, Pegasus Equestrian International / Stirling Downs is conceived first as a multi‑discipline equestrian campus and resort, and only then as a racing venue.

Here's a sobering reality: the "Sport of Kings" has been playing checkers while the world moved on to 4D chess. Over the past 50 years, thoroughbred racing has shed nearly 60% of its inflation-adjusted market value. Fifty-four racetracks have closed since 2000. Foal production has collapsed by 49%. And despite billions in subsidies, the industry continues its death spiral—December 2025 saw wagering handle plummet 7.3%, the worst month on record.

But here's the plot twist: this collapse isn't a tragedy. It's an opportunity.

Picture this: a 1940s industrial powerhouse meets a warm, modern sanctuary of mass timber—because apparently, we couldn't choose between gritty and luxe, so we married them. Welcome to the Pegasus Equestrian Experience Center, where "High-Industrial" architecture proves that heritage and innovation aren't enemies; they're just waiting for the right timber beam to introduce them properly.
