Old Friends launches virtual tours

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WTVQ) – Old Friends, the Thoroughbred Retirement Facility in Georgetown, has launched a new “virtual tour” video collection.

The 3-4 minute virtual tours will highlight one of the horses retired at Old Friends and will be presented by Old Friends founder and President Michael Blowen.

The videos intermingle live footage with still photographs, backstories, and memorable career highlights.

Each video is viewable on a desktop computer or mobile device and can be accessed via the Old Friends Facebook page and on the Old Friends YouTube channel, a link to which is available on the website at www.oldfriendsequine.org.

The inaugural video features 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness champion Silver Charm.  Additional videos to be released in the coming weeks will feature Super Derby star Wallenda, Eclipse-Award winning mare Hidden Lake, and Kentucky Derby and Preakness Champion War Emblem.  The farm expects to produce 10 virtual-tour videos in all.
