About Old Friends...In 2003, Old Friends thoroughbred retirement facility in Georgetown, KY, put a new face on the concept of Thoroughbred aftercare. Over the years we have expanded to a 236-acre farm, three satellite locations and a herd of over 290 retired former racehorses and breeding stallions.

We opened our doors to the public, inviting fans to visit their turf heroes. As a result, Old Friends is now the “living-history museum” of horse racing. Annually, our horses attract nearly 15,000 visitors, who come to get up-close-and-personal with racing’s superstars, and also meet a few who never saw the inside of a winner’s circle.

While rock stars like 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Silver Charm draw crowds, the revenue they raise supports hard-knockers like Mikethespike, Nana’s Hope and Mike Man’s Gold. Every horse at Old Friends has a story to tell, and our volunteer tour guides enjoy sharing them with their fans.
