We are sad to announce the loss of 16-year-old Skip’s World, who was euthanized due to a hoof infection. A 10 year Old Friends resident, he was retired to us in 2016 by Carolyn Hine at the end of a career that saw him finish in the top three in nine of his 17 starts. He will be dearly missed by everyone on the farm, especially his Paddock 32 herd.

Today is the final day to bid on the Big Brown halter, Big Brown Raku pot, and a lot with both Silver Charm and Little Silver Charm halters in the Reins Of Hope charity auction to support victims of the Saratoga Casino Hotel harness track fire with 100% of the proceeds going to the fire victims.
