Very enjoyable tour. Shawn was very knowledgeable and had many interesting and funny tales to tell. Loved seeing the foals. Was entertaining watching horses swim.

We had a nice tour with Shawn Washington the owner.He was an informative tour guide and you can tell he really enjoys giving these tours. We went to 3 horse farms and learned a lot about horse racing and the value of some of these beautiful animals. My only recommendation would be for him to have a microphone so the people sitting in the back ( us) would here him better. The tour bus was nicely air conditioned and clean. I would highly recommend this tour if your are in Lexington and want to learn a lot from an experience tour guide. Beautiful scenery and friendly horses to pet.

I am from Atlanta, Ga & I wanted to take a tour of some of the horse farms while I was here. I came across the UNIQUE Horse Farm Tours online. I booked my adventure and went to The Embassy Suites to wait to be picked up. My tour was from 12 - 3pm. My tour guide, Shawn Washington, was on time and he was a very nice gentleman. Shawn had us all load up in a nice, comfy vehicle/bus and away we went! We visited 3 thoroughbred farms (KatieRich Farm, Margaux Farm, Mill Iron Farm) & we got to see the outside of Anita Madden’s home/property. Throughout the tour I was able to see some beautiful country views, I was able to get out and walk the properties with our tour group, pet the horses (very friendly) and I enjoyed listening & learning about the thoroughbreds from a delightful, interesting, knowledgeable, and funny tour guide, Shawn Washington!!! I would go on the tour again!!! I want to say thank you to the farms for letting me come see their beautiful horses & thank you for a great experience Shawn Washington!!!
