Our mission:
a new life for rescued and retired horses
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.
Some of our equine residents are brought to Ryerss Farm by their former owners, who wish to reward their faithful friends with a happy retirement. With more than 350 horses on our waiting list, horses normally must wait several years for an opening, provided they meet the minimum age requirement of 20. Others are rescued horses, brought to Ryerss Farm by the SPCA (The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) or LAPS (Large Animal Protection Society) for a temporary or permanent home. For more information on our residents, go to the Home Page and click on the Residents square. All of our horses’ needs are met including, farrier, veterinarian, and dental care as well as routine inoculations and medications.
Visitors are welcome to stop by the farm and see the horses between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4:00 p.m, we are open daily. Group tours can be arranged by calling the office in advance at (866) 469-0507. The cost is free but donations are most appreciated. When you visit, stop by the main office and view our resident's board, featuring a picture of every horse on the farm and be sure to visit our gift shop for items any horse lover will appreciate!
