Our Mission
A horse community with the power of connection
Rosi C Ranch is more than just a place; it’s a faith-based community dedicated to providing solace and support for trauma survivors. Founded by Mari and Tony Colace, our ranch serves as a sanctuary where individuals can embark on their journey towards healing and renewal.
At Rosi C Ranch, we understand the profound impact that trauma can have on one’s life. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing environment where individuals can find refuge, support, and guidance on their path to recovery. Rosi C’s six acres, sixty-foot lighted round pen, historic farmhouse, and barn space contribute to the program’s design, empowering people to navigate through experiences and discover inner strength and resilience.
Central to our mission is the invaluable contribution of our volunteers. We believe that every act of kindness and support contributes to the healing journey of our clients. Witnessing the transformation and growth of our clients is a deeply rewarding experience for our team. Every day, we are inspired by the resilience and determination of those who we serve.
At Rosi C Ranch, we invite you to be a part of our community, where healing, hope, and compassion intersect. Together, we can create a brighter future for trauma survivors, one step at a time. Join us, and together, let’s make a difference.
