Ownership of Black Forest horses transferred
Eight horses seized last year from former owner Sherri Brunzell, now have a new custodian.
Blue Rose Ranch in Springfield will care for the horses now until they can be sold.
Over the next few days, the ranch will bring in veterinarians to independently examine them. But medical records they received indicate prized cutting horse Dual Peppy was in the worst shape out of all the surviving horses.
“He is older but he is going to have trouble,” Cheryl Webb said. “He has trouble with his hocks, he has trouble with his back, legs.”
The other horses also suffered injuries, but have rebounded thanks to medical care over the past year.
The Webb’s ranch give the horses something they desperately need as they continue their recovery – open prairie space.
“What we provide here is an opportunity for horses to experience the prairie,” Jim Webb, executive director of Blue Rose Ranch, said.
The Sheriff’s Office said it completed a background check of Blue Rose Ranch and found the ranch to be in good standing with the secretary of state for the state of Colorado.
