Our entire group...
Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed the horse farm and race track tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the horse racing industry and you could tell he loved sharing his knowledge. The horse farms were beautiful and we got to pet some horses! The race track was also amazing to see and we were able to watch some horses running on the track while we stood right up next to it. Very good tour!

300 years of thoroughbred horse business in an afternoon
The drive through horse ranch country was beautiful. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable about everything thoroughbred. The tour provided a brief peek behind the curtain of the Lexington thoroughbred horse business. It was a very informative and interesting tour.
