Shaun pick us up at the front of the visitor center. He took us to three different horse farms. We saw baby's at the first stop. We saw stallions (Jazil, Invasor, and three others) at the second stop. At the last stop we saw yearlings. Shaun gave some good tips after the tour about other farms to visit.

My 9 year old daughter and I booked this trip at the Kentucky Horse Park. Shaun picked us up and quickly got to know each and every passenger on his comfortable bus. We thoroughly enjoyed his expertise and humor on his amazing tour. We were taken to a local horse farm where my daughter was allowed to pet and interact with some gorgeous 2 year old racing prospects. We even were given treats to feed them! Shaun then took us to Calumet Farm where we learned about some amazing history and saw beautifuls stallions. Shaun even gave my daughter a horseshoe which is now one of her prized possessions. If you are visiting the Lexington area and are looking to a personal tour with a person who knows their stuff, book with Shaun. You won't be dissapointed!

Shaun our guide was just fantastic, told funny stories and really ones about the owners and horses. Stopped at farms to see and interact with foals to retired Kentucky Derby winners. On the Nuckels farm the retired horse enjoyed guiness twice a day. We were given treats to feed them and touch them. Seeing the barns and the countryside of bluegrass was just breathtaking for us. He stopped at little diner place where we got the best cookies and pointed us to State Bar ? BBQ place to go to. Best ribs I ever ate. Definitely recommend the tour.
