While visiting the Kentucky Horse Park do not miss the Unique Horse Farm Tour. Offered three times a day, you get to see close up and personal wonderful horse farms not open to the public. Our guide, Shaun Washington (Tour Owner?), was wonderful with a wide range of witty facts and information related as we rode on the bus.
The tour lasted a good 2.5-3 hours and we visited 4 farms that we would never have had the chance to see if we were not on this tour. Never hurried, we met owners and horses (including a new-born foal) as well as saw fabulous private facilities, including a Sheik's, that were not your run-of-the-mill Kentucky horse farm.
The $40.00 a person seemed like a lot at first, but by the end of the tour everyone agreed it was well worth it. For true horse lovers, this tour just adds the icing to the cake. I highly recommend it.
