What Happens to Horses When They Retire?

Old Friends at Cabin Creek

At Old Friends at Cabin Creek, retired racehorses are given a second life—away from the track, but still surrounded by care and purpose.

This short film takes a look inside the farm, where the focus shifts from competition to aftercare, and the horses are allowed to settle into a different kind of routine.

It’s a reminder that the story doesn’t end when the racing does.
