From Michael…
Christmas is an extra special time here at Old Friends. The horses get cards with heartwarming stories from people who have visted during the past year and our supporters are extremely generous. Our gratitude goes out to every one of you. I hope you’ll all get to visit in 2011 and see how much your love for these amazing athletes translates into their well-earned retirement. Each year there’s one thing I look forward to more than any present Santa could bring Old Friends and that’s our note from Mallory , a young girl from Rhode Island. Here it is: Dear Mr. Blowen, I have my Christmas donation thanks to some great bake sales and trading in my Christmas gifts. I hope you can use it for feed and some blankets. I have to apologize because I won’t be there this coming summer. I am traveling to Australia with a student ambassador program. My parents said I can come down next summer. Nothing will stop me!! Seasons Greetings to everyone at the farm, Mallory. The note came with several stickers, including a juicy carrot and a horse; a check for $217.88 and a marvelous photograph of Mallory jumping on her favorite horse, Damien.
