Description

Like many before him within the Bluegrass State, Michael Blowen, a former “Boston Globe” entertainment creator, fell in love with horses, specifically Thoroughbreds. The reality beyond the racetracks, he knew, used to be that every day a Thoroughbred used to be within the spotlight, for a few of these distinguished athletes, their days were numbered. Because of this, he dreamed of finding a strategy to give them a dignified retirement after they completed their rigorous racing careers. When he opened the Thoroughbred retirement farm Old Friends in Kentucky in 2003, he never dreamed his idea would grow so big, so fast. Lately, Old Friends is home to more than 130 horses, many of them stallions, in addition to geldings, mares and one loveable miniature horse named Little Silver Charm. Sign up for journalist and horse lover Rick Capone for the story of Old Friends and the horses that call the farm home.
