Geography, history, biology, sociology -- it's all there, packed into three-and-a-half hours in the heart of beautiful, picture-book horse country. We learned more about the thoroughbred industry than we ever imagined. Our driver, Dan, obviously knows his subject and is passionate about sharing it -- everything from the "courtship" rituals to burial, and everything about the horses' lives in between. Lots of anecdotes and opportunities to see the animals up close in their natural environment. If you're looking for an outdoor experience that's not too taxing and is packed with educational and interesting content, you can't go wrong with this tour, especially if the weather is good. A lovely outing for all ages.

We do a lot of tours and travel frequently, so, believe us when we say this is one of the best tours we've ever taken. Our "tour guide" or, better said, our "expert" was Nicholas Newman and he and his brother actually own a thoroughbred farm and are managers/trainers. He explained he was not a "tour guide" but rather someone who was passionate about what he does for a living and enjoys sharing it with visitors. There was no pre-written script, but, rather just conversation about Lexington's horse racing community. In the comfort of a van, he drove us through beautiful "horse country" and made a stop at Keeneland, which we loved. Secretariat and Seabiscuit were filmed here and we just loved it -- we're going to go back for a race sometime this year! The information he knew was very interesting, from the scales that weigh the jockeys and gear to the turf on the track . . .from there, we visited other horse farms, took loads of pictures, petted horses, and even made a visit to "Old Friends" -- where horses retire . . .look it up, you'll see what I mean. It was a bone chilling March day, but, we all still felt it was one of the best tours we've ever been on. Nicholas even took suggestions on a name for a new foal that was to be born "any minute" -- very interesting -- not your typical tour, it was better!

We were in Lexington last week for the KHSAA boys basketball tournament. We happened upon this tour's brochure in our hotel lobby. We have previously visited other horse tours in the area. This tour is the best in Lexington. We had a great tour with Dan. We visited Rose Hill Farm and Magdelena Farms, and Keeneland. It was great to be up close with the horses. Very cool to be able to touch a 2 month old colt. The best part was seeing the mares and the colts galloping across the hills of rose hill farm.
