Shaun is really an amazing man, very passionate and learned about horse racing, a real gentleman and professor! My daughter Rosa is very into horses and she absolutely LOVED the tour - we got to feed thoroughbreds, pet them, hear stories, and learn so much! Thanks Shaun, you are a really great guy! The horse-farms and landscapes are breathtaking, and Lexington is just a really beautiful area with lots of great restaurants, too.

when we arrived and saw the bus, we realized that it was not handicap accessible and had been told it was. Shawn was wonderful and we drove to 2 farms with his assistance. He was very informative. Hard on my husband who is in a wheelchair but nice to see the farms.

Sean was awesome. At first I was a little nervous, as he was late and the rest of the drivers were early or on time. He did NOT disappoint and made it up in more ways than one. We got to see horses swim and got to see some behind the scenes horse farms and meet some amazing people and horses. It was incredible to get to feed the horses peppermints and get up close and personal with them. The landscaping is incredible and one of the most relaxing places I have been in the world. A sense of peace comes over you in Lexington. The Kentucky 1681 highway is a MUST DO SCENIC DRIVE! The farm tour is a MUST to get on and in the farms. Couple this with a back stage tour of Churchill downs and it is like hitting the winning horse!
