Tranquility Farm Receives
Piedra Grant
May 31, 2005,
Blood-Horse
Magazine
Tranquility Farm, the
Harry A. Biszantz Memorial Center for Thoroughbred Retirement,
has received a $21,000 grant from assets of the Piedra
Foundation, a non-profit program offering equine surgical
assistance that dissolved in 2004.
"Tranquility Farm embodies the spirit of equine assistance
typifying that which Piedra Foundation's Board held most dear,"
said Dr. Jay Rose, DVM, the former chairman of the board of the
Piedra Foundation.
Tranquility Farm established the John W. Russell Memorial
Surgical Fund in 2004--in memory of the late Thoroughbred
trainer and Tranquility Farm director--and has subsequently
provided surgical care for seven injured racehorses. Funds from
the Piedra Foundation grant will be used for feed and health
care for Tranquility Farm's resident horses.
Tranquility Farm is 501(c)(3) charity based in Tehachapi,
Calif., that accepts the donation of Thoroughbred horses for
retirement and retraining from racetracks or breeding farms.
Among the approximately 100 retirees are stakes winners Southern
Wish, Mellow Fellow, River Rhythm and I Love Silver.
The goal of Tranquility Farm is to give each horse their best
opportunity to find an adoptive home, and for those in need of
humane retirement, a comfortable life. No Thoroughbred is denied
access to Tranquility Farm based upon their owner's financial
contribution. Tranquility Farm requests, but does not require,
that owners provide a donation toward the costs of
rehabilitation and retraining. Tranquility Farm is accredited by
the Thoroughbred Adoption and Retirement Association and is an
affiliate member of the NTRA Charities.
