He has won more than 2,000 races and has a reputation for his honest and hands-on approach, personally training each of the horses in his care.

Our purpose is to provide dignified retirement for all racehorses, both known and unknown. Completely staffed by volunteers and run entirely on donations, our goal is to provide a natural, nurturing forever home to retired race horses, and offer the public an up-close and personal experience with our thoroughbred horses. We are open to the public year round with many special events during track season. Old Friends at Cabin Creek is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.About Racing for Home, Inc.: Racing For Home was founded in 2010 by Acacia Courtney Clement and Sherrie Courtney. The mission is to help transition retired racehorses, one Thoroughbred at a time, for a second career. This includes helping to network other Off-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTB’s) and connect them with prospective homes off the track. Others, we take in to our program to rehabilitate and retrain, all of which get considerable let down time to acclimate to life off the track. Based in Connecticut, Racing for Home is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and exists because of hard working volunteers and generous donations.
