Tranquility Farm's representative again inspected the Warren mares and stallions on the Arizona feedlot this morning and found them to be in good condition. He spoke with the owner of the feedlot who gave his assurance that the horses would not be sold for slaughter. Our representative indicated that he believed the owner was prepared to deal fairly with Tranquility Farm for the purchase of the horses. At this time volunteers are standing by to match the horses with their papers in order identify them for purchase. We hope to begin removing them from the feedlot as early as tomorrow. Once the horses are at safe locations in Phoenix we will photograph the horses and provide registered name, age and photo of each horse for adopters.

The support and generosity of the Thoroughbred community for the recovery of the Warren Mares has been absolutely tremendous, and Tranquility Farm has been in negotiations all week to purchase all of the mares and stallions at the Arizona feedlot.

It would appear that the owner of the feedlot, David Quin, is convinced that the value of this lot of mares and stallions is roughly double of what they would bring at auction, even though he still has not provided to Tranquility Farm so much as a listing of the mares names. We regret that we cannot provide this to our adopters at this time.

     Negations will begin again next week, but it appears that feedlot owner needs some time to arrive at a more realistic price for horses. The feedlot is under close observation in order to guarantee the security of the mares and stallions.

WARREN MARES SAVED!
     Thanks to the tremendous outpouring of concern and support from every corner of the Thoroughbred world, Tranquility Farm has rescued and removed to safety 36 pregnant broodmares from a feedlot in Phoenix, Arizona. We have also purchased the stallions Seattle Bound, Major Moment, Mr. Bolg, and Lindsey’s Roberto.
      None of this would have been possible without the invaluable assistance of the Blood-Horse, Thoroughbred Information Agency, Alex Brown website, HRTV, and many others in the racing media who kept this issue in the forefront of public attention and did a magnificent job of updating the situation. Thanks to their faithful reporting horse lovers everywhere have responded with financial aid and the offer of new homes for these abandoned horses.
      Our next website update will be a listing of all the broodmares that are available for adoption, and a special “THANK YOU” page to all of our generous supporters. It will take us a few days to care for the mares and match them up with their papers, and your patience is greatly appreciated while we deal with the needs of the horses.
      New adopters please fill out the adoption application on our website and mark it “Broodmare”. If you have already contacted Tranquility Farm and are waiting for a broodmare you will be contacted personally by phone or e mail after Aug. 17th. Bloodhorse Story
Please remember that we still need your help to care for the Warren mares until they are all adopted!
