We toured with Shaun, our son and new daughter-in-law, back in October and it was fabulous! Shaun was real gem and took us to places that the average person would never get to see. We even were able to see the top Equestrian hospital in the country ! That was a special treat for our daughter-in-law who is not only a horse lover but a P.A. She was able to ask all sorts of questions and learn that there were so many similarities between treatment of humans and horses! We will definitely be taking Shaun's tour again next time company comes to visit. Thank you Shaun!

We had Shaun for over 12 hours on November 9, with the bus full of 19 people, the majority of which have never been on horse farms. Not only was he able to get us in to see American Pharoah (way to go!), he took us to 2 other top rated horse farms, Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace. While at dinner we realized we needed cups for an after dinner cocktail on the bus and Shaun was more than happy to run and pick them up while we finished dinner. Shaun is extremely knowledgeable about the Kentucky Derby (go ahead and quiz him. It's amazing), and he is hilarious. We enjoyed him so much we are going to start using him for corporate events. Thank you, Shaun, for making this a day to remember.
