During our visit to Lexington, KY we took a Unique Horse Farm Tour with tour guide extraordinaire, Shaun Washington. He shared with us that we needed to come back to see a race at Keeneland. We didn’t know what to expect for our first race and I wanted to share useful tips before your visit.
Ever wondered what it would be like to see million dollar horses up close ….and tour million dollar stables?
A visit to the Kentucky Horse Park is a must when you visit Lexington. Kentucky is known to be “Horse Capital of the World” and the Kentucky Horse Park creates an appreciation, education and admiration for these beautiful creatures. The park is set on 1,200 acres of beautiful rolling hills and your biggest challenge will be deciding what area to visit first.
On a recent trip to Lexington, Kentucky, we took advantage of the opportunity to watch the morning practice runs at Keeneland.
I’ve always been a bit nervous around horses. Maybe that’s because one tried to buck me off on a trail ride with my family in Wyoming or maybe because every time my husband and I have gone horsebackriding, I seem to get the horse who does not want to stay on the trail and does not like people. I now ask specifically for horses that are named “Daisy Mae” or ” Barely Breathing'”
