Blue Rose Ranch, Inc.

Background Statement

For over 20 years, Blue Rose Ranch has grown to become one of the largest and most respected Horse Rescue Organizations in the nation. This past year has been one of expansion and reorganization. We formed a new nonprofit that now runs the horse operations at the ranch. This change has made it possible for Blue Rose Ranch to expand its outreach to now serve greater needs of the horse rescue industry. As a result of our reorganization, we have formed the Blue Rose Ranch Trust, whose purpose is to provide direct financial support and consulting assistance to new and existing horse rescue/sanctuary nonprofits.

Blue Rose Ranch Horse Rescue in southeast Colorado now has the operating name “Blue Skye Ranch”. The horse rescue and adoption facility is located on beautiful Bear Creek, two miles north of Springfield on Hwy 287. Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and training of unwanted horses, our mission is to find or provide “forever” homes for unwanted horses as possible. All horses at the ranch have a permanent home with us if a great adoptive home is not found. We are a no-kill rescue organization, and only euthanize for humane purposes.

The ranch has world class facilities and operates on hundreds of pristine acres. Each horse receives the highest standard of care including: all necessary veterinary care, farrier care, covered shelter, fresh water, feed (including special dietary feed as necessary), and expert handling and training. All horses are turned out at days-end to roam the ranch and enjoy being horses. Our facilities include a 12,000 sq ft indoor riding arena, outdoor riding arena, rodeo grade round pen, large and small corrals with shelters, an incoming/hospital area, barn with stalls, tack rooms, hay barns, grain building, ranch workshop, weighing scale, horse wash stand, veterinary chute, and a beautiful ranch office. The rescue operates 100% with “Green” Solar energy.
