The Significance of Blessing Animals

The concept of blessing animals has been practiced for centuries across various cultures and religions. It's a symbolic act that acknowledges the sacred bond between humans and animals and expresses gratitude for the companionship, support, and love they provide. Blessing animals not only pays tribute to their physical strength and grace but also recognizes the emotional and spiritual connections owners share with their furry friends.


Connecting with Nature and Spirituality

Ryerss Farm's Blessing of the Animals provides a unique opportunity for participants to connect with nature and spirituality. There's an undeniable sense of peace and serenity as you stand amidst the stables surrounded by an abundance of animals and fellow enthusiasts. The beauty of this event lies in its ability to bring people closer to the natural world and awaken their spiritual senses.


Healing and Emotional Connection

For many, horses and other beloved animal friends are trusted companions who provide emotional support and healing. Our yearly event allows participants to reflect on our gentle giants and other pets' profound impact on our lives. It's a time to honor our animals who have carried us through trials and tribulations, offering comfort and a sense of belonging.

Our Mission

At Ryerss Farm, our business is caring for aged, abused, or injured horses, providing a home where they can spend their golden years out to pasture. The horses at Ryerss are never worked, go to auction, or are used for experiments. They simply spend their days grazing and enjoying life with their friends as part of the herd. Our gentle giants cannot wait to spend time with your animals and are looking forward to sharing the blessings of those who come to participate!

This short, non-denominational service will be held at Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines in Pottstown, PA, on October 14th at 12:00 p.m. in the main barn. The service will be followed by individual blessings of your pets and the retired and rescued horses on our farm. Please bring your dogs, cats, and other small animals on a leash or in a carrier. Hay rides will be offered, and our special "horse pumpkins" will be on sale! Baked goods and refreshments will be available for purchase. Meet the Ryerss horses and visit the Gift Shop. There is no admission charge, but donations are always welcome. To learn more about the event, click here.


As we bless our four-legged companions, we are reminded of the timeless connection between humans and animals and their profound impact on our lives. So, whether you're a seasoned equestrian or simply someone who appreciates the majesty of all animals, we would love to see you at our event to experience the beauty of this unique celebration firsthand!
