ABOUT MICHAEL BLOWEN

Michael Blowen's fear of horses grew into a deep love for horses & for saving their lives.

Early in his career, Blowen was a writer & movie critic for The Boston Globe. He eventually held the enviable position of movie critic, which gave him contact with film stars & celebrities throughout the 1980s & 1990s.

A chance outing in 1997 to Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts proved to be a life-changing event. Wanting to learn more about horses to improve his chances of winning at the track, Blowen asked to work the stables for free, & he fell in love with these majestic animals.

In 1999, The Boston Globe offered Blowen & his wife, Diane, a Globe columnist, a retirement buyout. He took it & joined the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, which rescues horses & provides them with safe homes. A year later, he moved to Kentucky to help the foundation.

Blowen then founded the non-profit organization Old Friends Farm in Georgetown, a retirement & rescue facility for pensioned thoroughbreds. In 2002, Derby winner Ferdinand was slaughtered in Japan, gaining national outrage. This influenced Blowen to focus on at-risk racehorses, giving them a comfortable place to live out their years & allowing the public to meet these formerly famous racehorses. Old Friends is open to the public & attracts nearly 20,000 visitors annually.

Blowen & his wife reside on Old Friends Farm, & like the retired thoroughbreds he cares for, he too will be buried on the farm grounds when his great day comes.
