Description
When Michael Blowen first dreamed of making Old Friends, he envisioned a spot where Thoroughbred stallions may retire with dignity following their racing or breeding careers. He also sought after other folks to seek advice from the long-lasting horses. In 2003, Old Friends opened on leased land with a miniature horse named Little Silver Charm, a gelding named Invigorate and a mare named Narrow Escape. As of late, the 2-hundred-plus-acre farm in Georgetown has more than 160 retired Thoroughbred stallions, geldings and mares, including two Kentucky Derby winners. It even welcomed two satellite farms, one in New York and one at Kentucky Downs racetrack. In his follow-as much as History of Old Friends, Rick Capone revisits the unforgettable history of this horse retirement home.
