We had a wonderful tour with Shaun while passing through Kentucky on a long road trip with our Grandson. What a wonderful way to get up close with these beautiful horses as Shaun is able to take you into the barns where you can be with the horses. The tour bus is a great way to see the beautiful countryside as you travel from farm to farm.I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see the beautiful horses and horse farm operations up close. Shaun was knowledgeable, informative and fun to be with.

Shaun was a fun and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his stories and the information he shared about horses, racing, the local farms, and Kentucky. We had a wonderful time. An added bonus that I didn't think about was the tour of the less traveled areas of Kentucky that we got to see, on our way to the various farms. Beautiful countryside. It was a highlight of our trip!

I always tell people that if they take only one tour, it should be Unique Horse Farm Tours with Shaun Washington. He is entertaining as well as informative and always takes us to a variety of places. Besides visiting the stallions at a beautiful stud farm we visited a farm with mares and foals, and were able to pet the adorable foals who ventured over to see us. When I took the tour in September, 2 years ago, Shaun took us to the Keeneland sale, which was another great experience. No matter when you take the tour you are going to have a lot of laughs, learn something new, and leave with great pictures and great memories.
