If you are any kind of fan of horse racing, a visit to this farm is a must see. You get a nice comfortable walking tour and visit some of the racetracks biggest stars, some that never reached that level and some that are just fun to feed a carrot too. The staff could not have been more friendly and... More

The staff were very knowledgeable about each horse and explaining its racing career. It was amazing to be able to feed and pet these beautiful animals. Many wonderful picture opportunities. I will be taking friends and family each time I have visitors to Kentucky.

I don't know where to start when it comes to describing a visit to Old Friends. It's a beautiful 70-acre farm, owned by Michael and Diane Blowen, that caters to the well being of retired thoroughbreds ... many of them stallions ... now living out their remaining lives in a peaceful dignity. You're adventure starts by dropping in the gift... More

We visited the Old Friends Retired Thoroughbred Farm & were not disappointed! Our guide Charlie was sweet & knowledgable about who we were visiting & what their race history was. We felt like we were in the company of greatness as some of their horses are Racehorse Royalty :) Thank You to the farm for a great day!!

Racing fan or animal lover this is a must see. It is truly inspirational what the owners and staff have done for these horses. I have had the opportunity to make a pit stop at old friends a couple of times. I will never again be in the Lexington/Georgetown area and not swing by for a visit. Although the horses... More

She's less so, but still appreciates the animals and the history. Our tour guide was informative and knowledgeable, and obviously passionate. The tour made for a great morning... More

This is a must see! This farm tour is so much fun for kids and adults. They allow you to feed and pet the horses while your guide tells you all about each horse. The owner and tour guides are so friendly and make you feel so at home. After our tour was over they allowed us to wander back... More

This is where the horses, who are lucky enough, end up when they don't have anywhere else to go. It is supported by contributions. The horses have wonderful stories as to their life before retirement. Everyone needs to be reminded of the sad fate of the many horses who don't meet such a dignified end. But it is not a... More

I've been to Kentucky twice, and have visited Old Friends several times while I was there. It is absolutely my most favorite place to be. I cannot wait to be... More
