We took our 2nd horse farm tour with Mr. Shawn Washington with Unique Horse Farm Tours. He is exceptionally knowledgeable with the horse racing industry. My son had an allergic reaction and Shawn went over and beyond the call of duty to ensure he got medicine. He even made him feel better with a stop for ice cream! Did I mention he is ENTERTAINING??? Free comedy show included on tour.

My husband and I happened upon this tour when we went to Kentucky Horse Park. We abandoned our plan to tour the park and decided to take the tour. We were not sorry - it was the best thing about our trip to Lexington! This was in Oct. 2014 and I'll be calling soon to take the tour again next month. This time taking my sister and brother-in-law. I would say without a doubt this was the best tour we've ever taken. Can't wait to go again!

We happened to visit the Kentucky Horse Park, where we had a choice of entering the park or taking a motorized bus tour of local horse farms. We chose the tour and I'm so glad we did! Shaun Washington, owner/operator is the man to see about Kentucky horse farms. He is personable, knowledgeable, likable, and a super nice guy! The tour lasts about 2.5-3 hours and is worth every penny. He took us to 2 beautiful horse farms where we walked through working horse barns with million dollar ponies being fed and groomed. He even had a pocket full of mints for us to treat the horses with! The tour topped off with a visit to Red States BBQ for a taste of their chocolate bourbon ice cream! Bring your cameras, learn about horses, bloodlines, racing, and the men and women who make it all happen. Shaun has a lifetime of personal stories from his days as a chaffeur to the owners and his relationships with the trainers, jockies and horses to share. Photo opportunities galore! Try it once, you'll be back. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Our tour cost $40 but it was worth every penny and more. See you in the winners circle!
