The Magic of Ryerss: Event Recap and Ways to Support our Residents this Holiday Season

Thank You for Celebrating the Magic of Ryerss with Us

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, October 27th, at Radnor Hunt in Malvern, PA, for our Magic of Ryerss event! Your presence and support made the afternoon unforgettable as we honored Ryerss Farm’s 136 years of devoted care for retired and rescued horses.

The day was filled with excitement and joy! We hope everyone enjoyed Ed Schmitt’s magic show, the open bar, and the scrumptious buffet. The generosity of our community shone brightly throughout both the live auction and the themed silent auction baskets, creating an inspiring display of support. Attendees experienced the thrill of bidding on baskets filled with home, fall, or pet care essentials and treats, as well as unforgettable experiences like Christmas in Victorian Cape May, a signed Eagles jersey, or a week in St. Maarten. Our auctioneer infused the live auction with energy and enthusiasm, making it a memorable event highlight. 

To those who couldn’t attend in person but participated in our online auction leading up to the event, thank you! Your support from afar was equally impactful, and we are so grateful for your commitment.

We’d also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors and donors. Your contributions were instrumental in helping us raise essential funds and ensure that Ryerss Farm remains a peaceful and loving home for our horses.
