Old Friends, the Thoroughbred retirement farm in Georgetown, Kentucky, has received a $15,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA),

Old Friends founder and President Michael Blowen made the announcement July 28.

The grant is part of the ASPCA’s "Rescuing Racers Initiative," which was established in 2009 to support horses impacted by the racing industry. Old Friends received two previous grants under this initiative in 2010 and 2011, which were used for run-in sheds and the construction of new paddocks.

These project funds will also be used to construct new run-in sheds on Old Friends’ expanded Georgetown facility
