The Legacy of Blue Rose Ranch
Blue Rose Ranch, Inc., founded in 2006, is one of the largest and most respected Horse Rescue Organizations in the nation. In 2025, the organization expanded and formed a new non-profit, Blue Skye Ranch, to take over the core missions of rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and youth programs at the Blue Rose Ranch location in Springfield, Colorado. This change made it possible for Blue Rose Ranch to expand its outreach to now serve greater needs of the horse rescue industry through the Blue Rose Ranch Trust. The Trust provides direct financial support and consulting assistance to new and existing horse rescue nonprofits.
