We have recently relocated to Lexington from Cincinnati. We had a big group of family and friends down last weekend for a private horse farm tour. Shawn picked us up in a bus at the hotel and helped us load our coolers and snacks on the bus. We had a blast drinking and snacking while riding the bus together. We stopped at three different horse farms and got to pet the horses. Shawn is a wonderful story teller and took the time to connect with everyone in our group- and we had 16 people with us! I highly recommend this tour! We are already planning a return tour in the spring!

My 9 and 10 year old horse-crazy daughters and I spent a few days in Lexington. Our time was limited but we really wanted an easy way of visiting some of the horse farms in the area. I called Sean Washington and he went out of his way to accommodate our schedule. He customized the tour to accommodate our interests. He was so easy to talk to and a wealth of information when it came to horses. He introduced us to breeders, owners, farm managers and so many others in the "horse world" who made us feel as if welcome guests at their farms! The tour was so relaxing yet we saw and learned so much. At the end of the tour I felt as if Sean was a long-time friend of ours! I can't wait to visit again and take another tour with Sean!!
