Travis Durr’s interest in horses traces back to his grandfather and father, who both raced Quarter Horses. At the age of 12, he rode races on bush tracks in Georgia and South and North Carolina. As his family transitioned to Thoroughbreds, Durr began breaking young horses and took over the family business in 1995. He began breaking horses in St. George, South Carolina, for local clients in 2007. Travis then joined the Webb Carroll Training Center in Matthews, South Carolina. In October, 2016, Durr and his wife Ashley then purchased the training center from Carroll.

Travis Durr Training Center has since become a powerhouse for transforming raw talent into racing legends. With first-class facilities, expert trainers, and an unyielding commitment to excellence, they guide every horse to its peak potential. From early conditioning to race-day readiness, Travis Durr’s team lays down the foundation for champions, ensuring that every Thoroughbred leaving the center is built to dominate the track.
