A Retirement Home for Horses

View this embed ›

Started in 2003 after the slaughter of 1986 Kentucky Derby winner, Ferdinand, Old Friends strives to make sure every race horse is allowed to retire and live out the rest of their lives in peace and dignity.

At this time they have about 120 horses.

Thank you to Steven Clark and Blue Tick Flix for the use of his clip and his work highlighting Old Friends.

      A huge reason as to why I do not support the racing community. I’ve had experience with lovely horses that were discarded like mud on a shoe.

      I went on a tour there when I visited Kentucky- it’s a super nice place! It’s just a pity that there isn’t a place like this for every unwanted horse out there.

      I have family that do this as well. It’s sad how early some horses are forced to “retire.”
