When Michael Blowen first dreamed of creating Old Friends, he envisioned a place where Thoroughbred stallions could retire with dignity following their racing or breeding careers.
Today, the two-hundred-plus-acre Farm in Georgetown has more than 160 retired Thoroughbred stallions, geldings and mar.
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.
He also wanted people to visit the iconic horses.
