In my life, I’ve always been a big believer in destiny, which to me just means being alert and paying attention to all the little events that seem to be directing you in a certain way…unseen helping hands guiding you along helping you to make the right decisions. I’m convinced that I was destined to own Szczerbiak, a Thoroughbred named for professional basketball player, Wally Szczerbiak.

An experienced instructor and rider, Katrina Hutto sought Thoroughbreds that would make excellent hunter/jumpers and lesson horses. She knew that adopting a retired Thoroughbred was a great way to get a horse without considerable cost.

During Lauren Turner’s senior year in high school she made an unconventional decision to rescue a former Thoroughbred racehorse and retrain him herself.  Soon the same girl who had always owned show-ready Thoroughbreds was addicted to rescuing and training retired Thoroughbreds.

The SC TRF encourages horse lovers to adopt a Thoroughbred from Seabiscuit Stables and make him your own. Whether for pleasure riding, hunting and jumping or priceless companionship, a retired racehorse is a wonderful addition to a loving family and a happy home. To date, three horses have been adopted from SC TRF.
