Shawn's tour of KY horse country was interesting and informative. The farms and barns were beautiful and it was fun feeding treats to the expensive horses. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there wasn't anything going on at the barns. We didn't see any employees or horses out of their stalls at the barns. We were able to see and pet some that were in the pastures. Perhaps a different day of the week would be a better time to tour. Until recently, guests could sign up for Shawn's tours at the KY Horse Park, but that is no longer the case. It now may be hard to reach him by phone. His voice mail was full the day we called. Email might be a better option. His small bus was comfortable, but we smelled strong diesel fumes at our location near the door...so strong that I began to get a headache before the tour was over. If he had a speaker system, he didn't use it the day that we toured. He has a strong, booming voice, but I doubt that we could have heard him clearly had we been seated toward the rear of the bus.
