Tranquility Farm accepts the donation of Thoroughbred horses from the racetrack and breeding farm, and their goal is to give each horse their best opportunity to find an adoptive home. For those who are not readily adoptable they offer comfortable retirement whenever possible, prioritizing horses that have been significant competitors or producers. Tranquility Farm requests, but does not require, that owners contribute sponsorship to help defray the costs of rehabilitation and retraining. No horse is denied acceptance into Tranquility Farm based upon his owner’s financial contribution.

The Harry A. Biszantz Memorial Center for Thoroughbred Retirement has grown to care for a constant population of 100 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.

With the hardships facing many today, including Tranquility Farm, DETC has accepted horses on a consignment basis and will work with them to help find them suitable and acceptable homes in Southern California. Please check the SALES page to learn more about them!
