Derby Trail Forums - Tranquility Farm Rescue Effort Seeks Help for 46 Horses.

Quote:

A Thoroughbred retirement facility in Southern California is seeking public support in its attempt to save 46 horses culled from a large-scale breeding farm in the region that are awaiting possible sale at an auction lot in Chandler, Ariz.

Priscilla Clark, president of Tranquility Farm in Tehachapi, Calif., said that unless her facility can raise the money to buy and place the Thoroughbreds, which include six stallions and 40 pregnant broodmares, they would be put up for sale with an uncertain future. Most would likely be slaughtered, she claims.

"The plan is to procure as many of the horses as possible and put them in a safe situation," Clark said.

A trainer in Arizona, working with Tranquility, inspected the animals and told Clark that they are all in good condition, Clark said. She identified the stallions as Seattle Bound (retired as of 2008), Dante's Inferno, Kris Kross, Mr. Bolg, Major Moment and Dynamite Vision. She had not been able to verify the identities of any of the mares, although she has been told they have the proper Jockey Club paperwork.

I've worked with this group and they're first class. They took injured claimer, Mananan Mclir a couple of weeks ago without any financial pledges.

If anyone can send a few dollars their way, they would appreciate it.
