Shaun is what makes this tour fantastic! I can't recommend this tour enough. Shaun has so much information about these farms and horse racing in general. I don't think you'll find a more up close & personal tour elsewhere.

I am not a horse enthusiast, but this tour was really enjoyable. We visited three horse farms and Shawn gave a lot of information about the horse farms. But it was also enjoyable to see the back roads of Lexington. It's a very worthwhile tour.

Shaun was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and witty and had so many facts and stories to share about the farms we visited and about the Lexington area. He was so personable and made sure everyone had their questions answered and was having a great time! It was like we had our own personal tour guide, even though there were several others on the tour with us! Shaun gave us an up-close and personal look at some of the biggest and most well-known Thoroughbred farms in KY and in the world - I'm not sure where else we would have been able to see and hear the things we did on this tour! It is obvious that he has been around the horse racing industry in KY for awhile, and he had connections everywhere we visited - this greatly enhanced our experience! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who has any interest at all in horse racing or horses in general - it's not every day when you get to visit and explore multi-million dollar farms with the highest-quality equine and staff! Thanks again, Shaun! We had a fabulous and unforgettable experience! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour TO ALL!
