EQUUS 2025

Join us for EQUUS XXXIII, an unforgettable evening where polished ranch style meets purpose, at the Ryland Inn. Set against a backdrop of country charm, guests will enjoy a night of warm camaraderie and lasting impact. Savor a ranch-style feast featuring elevated chuck wagon fare, swig on signature cocktails, sample the CIGAR BAR, and kick up your boots with an amazing mix of music, including Jesse Bardwell and the Free Union, and later, line dancing with a DJ until the cows come home!

Hold onto your hats, it's time to ride for glory and a great cause! The RANCH HAND RODEO is where grit meets giving, and only the toughest  Cowfolk will ride long enough to claim victory. Single rides available too! The evening also features a CUSTOM HAT BAR where you can personalize your own Western Hat just to your liking with unique embellishments and even your own initials branded in! Or try your hand at casting a line in the CUTTIE CASTING area. We will also have exciting live and silent auctions, where guests can bid on exclusive getaways, experiences, and luxury items, all in support of Mane Stream's vital therapy services and adaptive riding programs.

Your participation directly helps children and adults with special needs continue to thrive. From building confidence in the saddle to healing through horse-powered therapy with NJ-licensed therapists, your presence makes that possible.

Round up your friends and join us for an amazing evening of Western fun and generosity.
