Last weekend Painting Pony visited the Ryerss Farm<\/a> for their annual Family Fun Day.<\/p>\n

Ryerss is a non-profit in Chester County, Pennsylvania that cares\u00a0for aged, and abused or injured horses by providing a home where they can spend their golden years out to pasture.\u00a0 The horses at Ryerss are never worked, go to auction or are used for experiments.\u00a0 They simply spend their days grazing and enjoying life with their friends\u00a0on the farm.<\/p>\n

Painting Pony has been big supporters of Ryerss since the very beginning, and it’s one of the charity organizations that we donate a percentage of our sales to each year, in my opinion, it is one of the best fundraising ideas<\/a> I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

In fact, when I was a kid our local 4-H club used to visit Ryerss every year to groom the old horses on the farm. So it was fun to go back with my own “aged equine” (Minnow is 21 this year) and help to raise money for their farm.<\/p>\n

Both Minnow and Ammo the Dachshund drew big crowds during each of our performances throughout the day. Minnow painted 3 original works of art, which are now available for purchase in our online shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Where the Grass is Greener<\/a>” by Chincoteague Minnow<\/p>\n

“Brushstrokes<\/a>” by Chincoteague Minnow<\/p>\n

“You Have My Heart<\/a>” by Chincoteague Minnow<\/p>\n

Both Ammo and Minnow had a blast showing off some of their favorite tricks for everyone. Below is a collection of photos from our day at Ryerss ….<\/p>\n
