Horse Directories

Since our inception Serenity has helped support and rescue over 114 horses! Our foremost goal is to help rehabilitate, care for and place our rescued horses into loving homes. We are passionate about providing a natural and focused care plan for each of our resident equines.

Rancho St. Francis Horse Rescue and Equine programs are dedicated to the healing effects of compassion and love. When a horse enters our program, it is assessed for its individual needs. We honor its best interest by providing quality care. Our training program provides quality training experiences for the horses. Many of our horses help people in need through our equine therapy programs. We also have a rehabilitation program, which enables the horse to realize its full potential through care and nurturing. Our sanctuary program provides a beautiful, peaceful setting for horses to retire and enjoy their remaining years. Horses also available for adoption.

Blue Rose Ranch, Inc. is dedicated to the care and rescue of horses. In addition, we train and rehabilitate horses to the end that they can be successfully adopted to qualified persons with qualified facilities. We believe in the therapeutic nature of the interaction between horses and people, and that working with horses promotes responsibility and self esteem. According to these beliefs, Blue Rose Ranch partners with Springfield and Baca County through our established youth riding and volunteer programs. We also welcome community, youth, and civic groups to the ranch.

We provide refuge to animals that would otherwise be euthanized and to remove those who are in neglectful or abusive situations. Here they will be provided with the best nutrition, housing and love. Having room to roam and play, interact and socialize with other animals, the sanctuary gives a second chance to animals that would have no hope of a decent life, instilling trust in their hearts, so they may feel safe and loved.

Through our website, CANTER provides the means for the public to view thoroughbred racehorses that are ending their racing careers and are available for purchase or adoption. CANTER volunteers walk the shedrows of the racetracks taking listings and photographs for posting to the website. At most of our affiliates, the trainers may donate or sell their horse to CANTER and the organization will find approved non-race homes for their horses.

We are a small rescue that works with a large network of horse owners, other rescues, public agencies to assist horses in times of need. We are not a long-term sanctuary.

Our Mission
Helping horses in times of emergency, natural disaster, personal illness or other unforeseen circumstances where placement of the horses may be necessary to prevent starvation, neglect, abuse or anything detrimental to the well-being of the animal.
