Like many before him
in the Bluegrass State, Michael Blowen, a former Boston Globe entertainment writer, fell in love with
horses, specifically Thoroughbreds. The
reality beyond the racetracks, he knew, was that each day a Thoroughbred
was in the spotlight, for some of these distinguished athletes, their days were
numbered. For that reason, he dreamed of finding
a way 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. Today, Old Friends is home to more than 130 horses, many of them
stallions, as well as geldings, mares and one
loveable miniature horse named Little Silver
Charm. Join journalist and horse lover Rick Capone for the story of Old
Friends and the horses that call the farm home.
