Shaun Washington's personal knowledge of the area and the farms especially that he drove by and showed us and took us on the farm Margo especially so beautiful and that wonderful log cabin inside the big new barn. It was a treat my daughter and I will not forget for a long time thank you Shaun.

I have taken Unique Horse Farm Tours at least five times over the years, so when I visited Lexington in October I signed up to take it again. As always, I really enjoyed the tours. Shaun's extensive knowledge, interesting stories and ability to be both informative and humorous guarantees everyone a good time for everyone! One of the places we visited did water therapy for horses - that was a first for me. We also went to 2 private farms and got an up close to mares and their babies. I have recommended the Unique Horse Farm Tours to friends and recommend it to anyone visiting beautiful Lexington - it should not be missed!

All that I wanted was to go and pet some horses. Thanks to Sean not only did we get up-close to the beautiful animals but we also learned a lot about thoroughbreds and the million dollar business that revolves around them. His 20 years experience and amazing personality is what helps him deliver on this amazing tour. Have already recommended the tour to some work colleagues and will be back next fall with friends.
