Yesterday, I booked a Unique Horse Farms Tour through the Kentucky Horse Park. It was everything I hoped for and more! During the tour, we visited two farms: Kaitirich and Calumet. Kaitirich allowed walk-through tours of the barns, up-close and personal thoroughbred encounters, and even an opportunity to pet a colt. Calumet is not typically open to the public (most tours only do drive-bys from the road). It is steeped in history and is definitely a must see for the true Kentucky Derby junkies. What made the tour so great, however, was our guide Shawn. Shawn is 100% passionate about introducing people to Kentucky's rich horse culture. He brought a great attitude, a lot of humor, and plenty of personal antidotes for a one-of-a-kind experience. He's the guy who loves coming to work each and every day--and it shows! Book a Unique Horse Farms Tour and request Shawn!!
