Relive the Joy of “The Happiest Farm on Earth” Brunch & Gala & Support Ryerss Farm This Holiday Season

Thank You For Celebrating Our 137th Birthday With Us!

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Sunday, October 26th, at Radnor Hunt in Malvern, PA, for "The Happiest Farm on Earth" Brunch & Gala! Your presence and support made the event memorable as we celebrated Ryerss Farm’s remarkable legacy of caring for retired and rescued horses.

Guests enjoyed a warm and welcoming afternoon complete with a delicious buffet brunch, a photo contest, and laughs from comedian Pat Rocchi. The energy in the room was incredible, especially during the live auction and themed silent auction baskets. We loved watching the excitement build as attendees bid on baskets filled with home, fall, and pet care goodies, as well as unforgettable experiences, such as a five-day stay at Ocean Pointe Suites in Key Largo, Florida, a signed Eagles jersey, and a peaceful escape at a Precious Love Shack in Rock Hall, Maryland. Our spirited auctioneer, Ted Wiederseim, infused the live auction with energy and enthusiasm, making it a highlight of the event. And of course, this year’s surprise silent auction table added an extra layer of fun for all.

A heartfelt thank you also goes out to everyone who participated in the online auction leading up to the event. Even if you couldn’t be with us in person, your support made a meaningful difference.

We are sincerely grateful to our sponsors, donors, and supporters whose generosity made this event possible. Your contributions help ensure Ryerss Farm remains a safe, peaceful, and loving home for the horses who depend on us.

Thank you for celebrating with us and for continuing to stand by Ryerss Farm as we carry our mission forward into another year of compassion and care.
