Sean-- the owner and guide of this tour-- couldn't be better! He's funny, knowledgeable and nice! He took our group of 9 ladies around the horse farms. We got to do and see so much-- pet the horses, feed the horses! He knew so much about the horses and the racing industry. It was obvious those running the stables have a great respect for Sean. We had a great morning!

Amazing tour, Sean is the best. We've taken two tours with him now and are never disappointed. He knows all the best places and seems to know everybody in the horse business. You get behind the scenes and up close at a number of farms. I can't recommend it enough if you wind up in the area.

We were so happy when we boarded the bus (not a van) for our tour. It turned out that we were the only ones going that day and instead of cancelling us, Shaun took us to special places he thought we would enjoy the most. We are horse people so he was glad not to have to "watch" out for our safety. We got to visit several beautiful farms and the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital where we watched some minor surgeries being done on colts. Shaun was a great guide, easy to talk to and answered every question no matter how simple.
