I booked the trip based on being unique. The site needs to be updated. You no longer can get in to see any procedures at the vet clinic. You can't get into see the horses swim. Our tour guide..Nick...was informative but he never offered our group any mints to feed the horses. The tour was just ok. Not great. They also overbooked our tour and 1 of use had to follow the bus all around in our car. Not cool or professional.

My favorite part of the experience was Hill 'N Dale Farm in Paris Kentucky. Ever since I saw the Thoroughbred Good Magic in the 2018 Kentucky Derby, I wanted to meet him. I was able to do so yesterday, up-close-and-personal. It was a dream come true. I also had the honor of meeting his father, Curlin, an extremely successful stallion. They had quite a few famous Thoroughbreds. Shaun Washington, the driver and tour guide, is an expert in Thoroughbred racehorses. I do not speak from inexperience, either, because I have been a blacksmith, horseback riding instructor, & stable manager. Shaun is also personable, humorous, & entertaining. Moreover, the staff at Hill 'N Dale Farm was very polite, kind and informative. Also, the broodmares and foals at Katierich Farm were adorable and fun.
