This is a must do tour if you want to get the true horse experience. Shawn is fun and extremely knowledgeable. His stories are enlightening and help you understand horses and racing. You get up close and personal with the horses this is the tour to book. Our trip took us to Old Friends where we met Mike and Silver Chrome.

This was my wife and I first tour of a horse farm. We had a great experience with Sean Washington, the tour guide and owner of Unique Horse Farm Tours. He was a gentleman with a great personality. His knowledge of the horse racing business was beyond expectations. The wonderful stories he told will be shared many times with my relatives and friends. There is so much more to racing than just watching the horses compete at the track. It was a wonderful 3 hours. Thank you Sean. Best of Luck. Bob & Sandra D , Grand Rapids, MI

This was our second tour with Shawn and he made it as interesting and informative as the first visit. We visited three horse farms and petted newly born foals--so beautiful. Shawn entertained us with history and humor on the drive between the farms. Our fourth and final stop was at the Stockyard, which housed a gift shop as well as a deli. Shawn was attentive to the children on the tour, letting them feed peppermints to the horses. He also maneuvered the van as close as possible to the areas we were visiting to accommodate my husband, who walks with a cane--very thoughtful. We'll book this tour again on our next visit.
