POTTSTOWN, PA — Santa Claus, hot chocolate, holiday treats and a chance to spend time with retired horses will bring seasonal cheer to Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines as the nonprofit welcomes families for its annual Holiday Open House.
The free celebration takes place Saturday, Dec. 5, from noon to 3 p.m. at Ryerss Farm, 1710 Ridge Road in Pottstown, offering visitors an opportunity to enjoy holiday activities while supporting the care of the farm’s equine residents.
Families can capture a holiday photograph with Santa, enjoy cookies and hot chocolate, and spend time with the horses that call Ryerss Farm home.
The event combines familiar Christmas traditions with an opportunity to connect with the animals and learn about the importance of providing continued care for aging horses.
For children, the chance to see Santa and visit the horses makes the afternoon a distinctive holiday outing. Adults can enjoy the festive atmosphere while exploring the farm and its seasonal offerings.
Visitors can also browse the Ryerss Farm gift shop, which will feature holiday gifts and decorations. Shopping at the farm provides another way to support the organization during the giving season.
A special feature of the celebration will be the farm’s Giving Tree, which offers visitors an opportunity to contribute to the well-being of its equine residents.
The Giving Tree reflects the charitable purpose behind the event, inviting guests to make the holiday season a little brighter for the horses receiving care at Ryerss Farm.
While admission is free, the organization welcomes donations to help maintain the quality of care provided to its residents.
