We couldn't have been more impressed with our experience on this tour! It was the highlight of our trip to Louisville & Lexington. Shaun is the most amazing guide and adds such a personal touch with his love of horses and knowledge of the farms and the industry. Not only do you get to visit behind the gates at several beautiful farms, but you also get to experience up close encounters with the horses. Petting them and their little ones and feeding them peppermints is something we will always remember. Definitely would recommend to anyone! Also, a heartfelt thank you to Shaun and our tour group! We were stuck in terrible traffic and were going to miss the tour, and Shaun and the group graciously offered to wait for us. Can't thank you enough for making our day, you are a true southern gentleman!! Hope to come back and see you again!

Would agree that this is a behind-the-scenes tour. Shaun has many connections at the farms he took us to and we were able to go in and talk to the grooms etc. Terrific knowledge of the horse farm industry. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would consider taking this again!!

First time in Lexington and our very first horse farm tour. Shaun is absolutely amazing. He is extremely knowledgable and had great stories from his years of personal experience. You get to see magnificent horse barns and even a horse swimming pool! We got to see the babies and even saw one of American Pharohs' colts! I would 10/10 recommend Shaun's tour. We will be back!
