Shawn provided an OUTSTANDING horse farm tour experience. We booked last minute and were luckily able to get tickets probably due to chilly rainy weather the area had all week. We thought the rain was going to be a problem but didn't realize he brought you right up to the barn entrances. He kept our family interested and engaged, and periodically quizzed our younger son to see if he remembered his facts. We got to see the private horse farm estates and visit with dozens of horses. We were thrilled to see two-week old foals. The equine vet visit was a real treat though my kids were a little grossed out with the horse having knee surgery :-) We highly recommend this tour.

I set up a tour for eight family members on 4-28-18. They were all from Pennsylvania and wanted an authentic horse experience. I checked several tour groups and this was the best. Close to their hotel and perfect time. They all had great things to say about Shawn the tour guide. His knowledge, insight, local lore and funny disposition. They LOVED the tour. They were able to talk with horse trainers and farm hands. Even got a souvenir horse shoe from one of the staff. Great use of a Saturday morning and left time to get ready fir the early afternoon party. Highly recommend it. Thanks for a great time.
