Today’s spring recap post features photos I took at Old Friends at Cabin Creek, the Thoroughbred retirement farm I volunteer at in Greenfield, NY. You can click on some of the photos to purchase prints of them. Any profit I make I then donate to the farm to help take care of the boys. Click here to view my previous Old Friends posts.
