Blue Rose Ranch, Inc. is a horse rescue and adoption facility located in southeastern Colorado on beautiful Bear Creek, two miles north of Springfield on Hwy 287. At Blue Rose Ranch, we are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and training of unwanted horses. Our mission is to find or provide “forever” homes for unwanted horses, and we also sanctuary horses, as necessary, to their natural or merciful death. Horses come to us from many sources: ex-race horses and rodeo stock, those confiscated by authorities due to neglect, and horses where owners, for many reasons, find themselves no longer able to care for their horses. We are a no-kill rescue facility. All horses at Blue Rose Ranch have a permanent home with us if a great adoptive home is not found.
Blue Rose Ranch trains and rehabilitates horses to the end that they can be adopted to qualified persons who have qualified facilities. We are looking for “forever” homes for our horses, and it is important to our organization that adoptive owners consider the adoption as a commitment. Horses and potential owners are assessed and matched by our staff, and an adoption fee is required. The adoption fees do not necessarily correspond to the “value” of the horse. Age and training are considered when setting an adoption fee. Qualified horse owners recognize that fees to acquire a horse will be the least expensive part of horse ownership. All adoption fees are utilized to care for other horses at Blue Rose Ranch. Our staff will keep track of our adopted families to ensure that the horses are cared for and that their new owners are happy with the adoption.
