September 9, 2005 The career of a racehorse is as hard and fast as the competitions they sprint in. Click here for full story. On an early spring morning in 1998 Cobra Farm owner Gary Biszantz met Thoroughbred retirement advocate Priscilla Clark at the gate of an abandoned horse farm situated in the mountain valley of Tehachapi, California. He had a dream to create a sanctuary for retiring racehorses in the memory of his late father, Harry, who was also an ardent horseman. She had endured many years of caring for unwanted Thoroughbreds at her own small, overburdened farm. The vacant farm before them would need much work, but together they shared a vision of what could be. When the farm was purchased, enthusiastic help arrived from every corner of the racing world. New barns, fences and training facilities were built, and today the Harry A. Biszantz Memorial Center for Thoroughbred Retirement has grown to care for a constant population of 80 horses in rehabilitation, retraining, or comfortable retirement. Now known simply as Tranquility Farm, this special place of spacious barns and pastures is dedicated solely to the welfare of the Thoroughbred horse, where retiring runners enjoy the peace and appreciation they deserve, and where an unwanted broodmare or yearling can find shelter while awaiting a new life in an adoptive home.
