Welcome to Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines, a retirement facility for aged and/or abused horses.  Founded in 1888, it is the country’s oldest, non-profit organization, 501(c)(3) dedicated to the care of these majestic animals.  Located on 383 beautiful acres of rolling hills in southeastern Pennsylvania, Ryerss Farm provides a wonderful setting for horses to graze and play, living their golden years in comfort and dignity.

The Farm is open to visitors daily between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.  If youd like, you may bring treats to feed the horses.  But, please limit your food donations to apples (quartered) and carrots only.  A group tour may be scheduled in advance by calling the farm office at (866) 469-0507.  The cost is free, but donations are appreciated.  For directions, click on the Contact Us button on the left.

Fundraising Highlights - The outpouring of community support following the barn fire is truly heartwarming.  Thank you!
