Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 26 Journalists Share Posted November 26 Old Friends' HayRaiser fundraiser kicks off Wednesday, Nov. 27 and continues through Tuesday, Dec. 3. The campaign is aimed to raise funds to support the organization's herd of over 270 horses which requires in excess of 400 round bales to get through winter. “The Thanksgiving season is a perfect time to remember all of our retired Thoroughbred athletes at Old Friends,” said John Nicholson, President and CEO of Old Friends. “They have given so much and now it's our turn to give to them. Our ability to care for over 270 horses every day, year round, is dependent upon the generous support of those who have a special appreciation for these horses and all that they have done.” This year's HayRaiser fundraiser is even more important to the organization given the dry conditions facing Scott County, Kentucky. “We've experienced the second driest October on record in the last 130 years,” said an Old Friend release. “This was great for enjoying the outdoors and the Keeneland Fall race meet, but not so great for our paddocks, as we had to start supplementing our Thoroughbred retirees' forage with hay sooner than planned.” To donate, click here or mail a donation to: Old Friends 2024 HayRaiser Fundraiser 1841 Paynes Depot Rd.
