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
you’d 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.
