Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines

At Ryerss Farm, our business is caring for aged, abused, and injured horses, providing a home where they can spend their golden years out to pasture. The horses at Ryerss are never worked, sold at auction, or used for experiments. They simply spend their days grazing and enjoying life with their friends, as part of the herd.

Some of our equine residents are brought to Ryerss Farm by their former owners, who wish to reward their faithful friends with a happy retirement. With more than 350 horses on our waiting list, horses normally must wait several years for an opening, provided they meet the minimum age requirement of 20. Others are rescued horses, brought to Ryerss Farm by the SPCA (The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) or LAPS (Large Animal Protection Society) for a temporary or permanent home.

Visitors are welcome to stop by the farm to see the horses at no cost! From July 1 through September, during our Main Barn renovation, we are open weekends only, Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 AM to 4 PM. Group tours are paused during construction and will resume once the project is complete this fall. When you visit, be sure to visit our gift shop for items any horse lover will appreciate! Donations are always appreciated.
