We loved everything about our horse farm tour with guide Shaun Washington! We loved riding along and seeing the beautiful scenery. We stopped at three different farms, one where we got to pet the foals, another where we could feed peppermints to the mares and another where we didn't see any horses, but were dazzled by the facilities. The amount of money in the horse industry blows my mind. Shaun was incredibly knowledgeable. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer. Also, he was funny, which made the morning even more enjoyable! We also stopped at a great little bakery that is in an old school building--I wish I could remember the name of it--and it was a great stop for a restroom break and a snack! This is one of our favorite things we did in Lexington and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The Unique Horse Farm Tour was the highlight of our Lexington getaway. Shaun's knowledge, insight and stories are the perfect compliment to the unbelievable stops on the horse farm tour. If you have a couple hours to spare while in Lexington this tour is a MUST DO!!!

This tour far surpassed our expectations. Our tour guide, Shaun Washington was very knowledgeable, friendly, witty, and just made the tour extra fun. I’d certainly book a tour with him again. We also enjoyed getting to actually pet/give treats to some of the horses. Great memories were made!
