Silver Charm arrives at Old Friends

Silver Charm comes home to the USA after spending the past 10 yrs at stud in Japan. Thanks to the JBBA (Japan Bloodhorse Breeders Association), The Lewis Family (who campaigned him in his racing years) and Sandy Hatfield/Three Chimneys Farm for making it all happen and retiring him Old Friends Farm. December 2014
Many thanks to EquiSportphotos.com for this great video!

One reason Michael started Old Friends. The horror of poor Ferinand. I still cry.

[@johnwalsh3215]

So glad Mike got his favorite horse at Old Friends!!

[@shannonk.6528]

One of my all time favorite horses. Bob and Beverly Lewis were great horse people and did so much for the sport. He still looks great!

[@charleslambert6229]

I got them in the business.

[@Sagitariusmaria]

Beautiful thank you for sharing! I love to see these horses they bought so many great memories...

[@bobbieswift2874]

Wow! Absolutely awesome....🥰👍

[@TheDaragh]

he looks great and the intelligence just shines from his eyes!

[@juliehanson6158]

He is absolutely beautiful. I just wonder what he was thinking.

Just went to visit charm at old friends this past week. Charm has his tongue hanging out sometimes due to dental surgery he had recently. Other than that, he looked great and relaxed. He's showing his age some, but he's 30!! Glad he's gotten to live a long healthy life and deserved his retirement home. Fun fact, Touch Gold who beat him in the belmont in 97, is at old friends too! So the old rivals ended up together on and off the track.

Very cool you saved his halter👏❤

[@equine2020]

Pls support Michael's farms. He's a champion for these horses. Spent time with him, talking g horse of course. Told him about my thoroughbred, great granddad, Native Dancer.

[@betteholmes4876]

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Awe, and I think he recently auctioned the halter.

[@Someonesmom728]

Great to see him looking so well. Just a quick question. Do they geld the stallions when they come into your care??

[@kvakma]

Someonesmom728 - was there a couple months ago and am 'pretty sure' the answer to ur question is 'not necessarily'; sometimes, not always. Believe it just depends on individual circumstances.

[@equine2020]

No. Why would they? If one became vicious, could be necessary.
