AS RENNKLUB, LLC, a New York City horse racing<br \/>\nand Thoroughbred breeding partnership has adopted three Thoroughbred yearlings from<br \/>\nCenter Brook Farm in upstate New York. Center Brook Farm was raided by the Columbia\u2010<br \/>\nGreene Humane Society\/SPCA and the New York State Police this past April. Authorities<br \/>\nwere shocked to find one hundred and seventy seven horses on the brink of starvation. The<br \/>\nColumbia\u2010Greene Humane Society\/SPCA facilitated the adoptions of nearly eighty of the<br \/>\nhorses to various farms; the final three being adopted by AS RENNKLUB, LLC. Currently,<br \/>\nCenter Brook Farm is being inspected by the Humane Society on a regular basis. The<br \/>\nyearlings will be gentled and trained by legendary trainer Paula Turner in North Carolina.<br \/>\nPaula, well\u2010known in horse racing circles, once strengthened and prepared a young and<br \/>\nclumsy Thoroughbred with a misshapen leg \u2010 named Seattle Slew. She turned him into a fit<br \/>\nmachine for his eventual race track training.<br \/>\nThe partnership started by Angelika Hala and Sean Kerr is forming a non\u2010profit trust named<br \/>\nTHE 5R RACEHORSE TRUST to care for the three yearlings and manage their careers as<br \/>\nracehorses. The mission of this trust is to draw public attention to race horse rescue,<br \/>\nadoption and retirement efforts. Tax deductible donations will be sought and all racing<br \/>\nprofits raised by the Trust will be donated to these causes. The Trust has the backing of<br \/>\nnumerous equestrians as well as some established old name racing families.<br \/>\nThe Trust plans to nurse the youngsters to full health and lay a foundation for their athletic<br \/>\ncareer under the supervision of an experienced race horse trainer. \u201cThis has become more<br \/>\nexciting because a few trainers have already expressed interest in this project. Some have<br \/>\noffered advice and encouragement\u201d said Angelika. Other sport horse options such as<br \/>\ndressage training will be explored for any individual that is not suited to racing. If sport<br \/>\nperformance is not suitable, then the youngster will be trained to be a riding horse.<br \/>\nThe adoptees will neither be sold to other owners for profit nor be entered in claiming races;<br \/>\nAS RENNKLUB, LLC and the Trust intend to retain control of their care and well\u2010being for life.<br \/>\nFor more information or to make a tax\u2010deductible donation to THE 5R RACEHORSE TRUST,<br \/>\nplease contact AS RENNKLUB, LLC or their website www.racehorsetrust.org.<br \/>\nCONTACTS:<br \/>\nAS RENNKLUB, LLC<br \/>\nAngelika Hala<br \/>\nTelephone: 646\u2010775\u20100020<br \/>\nSean Kerr<br \/>\nTelephone: 917\u2010523\u20103267<br \/>\nContacts are reachable at any time between 7:00am EST to 11:00pm EST<br \/>\nEmail: asrennklub@gmail.com<br \/>\nWebsite (under construction): www.racehorsetrust.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walter Farley&#8217;s good buddy, Paula Turner; September 21, 2009 New York, New York.
