I have visited Old Friends and seen this great operation in action. Michael Blowen is the founder of Old Friends. He is a dedicated man who serves these retired race horses with great respect and admiration. He works tirelessly to better Old Friends and take in as many horses as physically possible. The entire staff is a wonderfully functioning team that serve these animals so well. Old Friends can only profit and prosper with help of others who find the plight of used up race horses a disgrace. Old Friends is an outstanding non-profit.
