The new pope is announced: Cardinal Robert F. Prevost takes the name Leo XIV.

RIP. Run free.

Everyone has their own ideas of how they look best, and in my world, I always wanted to be glamorous.✨

Very sad what happened to the filly who suffered fatal injury on a compromised racetrack surface at Timonium. Might be time to consider having 2yo sales put under Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority scrutiny for both safety and integrity.

Did you know 31-year-old SILVER CHARM is our oldest horse on the farm with a February 22 birthday? Silver Charm won 12 races in 24 starts for nearly $7m in earnings! Today, he lives in a paddock close to best friend Michael Blowen’s house so they can chat whenever they like.

Have you ever wanted to see Old Friends through Michael's eyes? Our Founder's Tour is with the one-and-only Michael Blowen, who will introduce you to some of the horses on the farm - including his BFFs Silver Charm and Little Silver Charm. Book it here👉 oldfriendsequine.org/visit/

Any day now—Encore may surprise us with a new foal.

Today’s Horse of the Day is 22-year-old NANA’S HOPE. The youngest in the paddock he shares with four other geldings, he can often be heard talking about his six seasons at the track where he won 14 races with 27 other top three finishes in 80 starts for $161,671 in earnings!

Horse colors: Roan 🌈 Bay, red, blue (black)... roans come in a variety of shades, and are a mix of white and base color hairs! Fun fact: when they have minor injuries to the skin, the hair grows back in the base color—giving them their signature "corn spots" or "corn marks".

The horse had to be euthanized as a result of a skull fracture, and authorities in New York exhumed his body in order to press charges against trainer Frederick Bourgault: tinyurl.com/3tdbwnf7

Neptune update! You may remember this lil Fish Springs foal from past posts… now he’s bigger, bolder, and somehow even cuter! As you can see, he's living his best wild life and loving those naps! 🌟 📍 #Nevada #Neptune #foal #wildhorses #growingup

The West Virginia Racing Commission has indefinitely suspended the owner and trainer license of Toschia Spriggs after the 57-year-old had eight horses removed from her property in Kearneysville due to an animal cruelty complaint. tinyurl.com/3bkauhr2

To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to prevent it from generating further evil. It is not to say that nothing has happened, but to do everything possible to ensure that resentment does not determine the future.
