Unless you know someone, this is one of the only ways to access private horse farms and see the horses in Lexington. Shaun, our tour guide, brought us to Hill N Dale and Katierich Farms that day. Hill 'n' Dale is the burial place of Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew. He is buried in the courtyard at the farm. Shaun is a long time native of Lexington and has a vast knowledge of the area and horse breeding. Shaun has been doing to for a long time and every farm kindly greets him. He knows everyone in the horse breeding business. Very informative and our 3.5-year-old daughter was able to pet the horses and feed them peppermint. Each tour is different depending on the farm schedules. If we return we'll do the tour again! Thanks Shaun!

What a fun day! Shaun shared years of history of the many great horses from the past and introduced us to potential future champions. He is full of knowledge and has a great sense of humor too.

This horse tour was an absolute joy! Shaun is a native of Lexington and grew up in and around the business so he has a tremendous amount of knowledge to share. If you don't know anything about horses, or horse racing, you will by the end of the tour. My friend and I got super spoiled by being the only two people on the tour! It was worth every single penny and I'd do it again just to see it all again and hear some more stories from Shaun.
