Shawn and his son provided an extraordinary tour for my daughter and me. We booked a morning tour for a hot day. Apparently several people also booked an afternoon tour. We were the only bookings for the morning time. Rather than move us to the afternoon, Shawn and his son conducted the tour for just the two of us, without even asking if we might change the time to better meet his schedule. He is phenomenal! His knowledge of and passion for Kentucky horses exudes from him. He has established relationships within the horse community that provide his guests access to interior and exterior areas of private farms. Being about to pet various horses, as well as feed them peppermint candy treats was a unique and treasured part of the tour. Historical information and stories of personal experiences flow from him during the tours. He capably and in-depth answered any questions we asked. The warmth and hospitality of this father and son are something with which most of the tourists will enjoy. The integrty and thougtfulness shown by honoring our booking despite the low numbers is something most guides would not have done. Thank you so very much for our special and memorable Kentucky Horse Visit morning!

If you are only able to take one horse tour while in Lexington, then you must take Unique Horse Farm Tour with Shaun Washington. He is beyond fantastic as a guide and person. The tour is personalized for you and Shaun has stories and knowledge that is exceptional. Don’t hesitate to book with Unique Horse Farm Tours!!!

We spent a couple of enjoyable hours with Sean listening to great stories and history of the area. We were able to visit individual stables within farms and see the horses, speak to the groomers, and learn about the process. Time well spent!
