Beautiful horse farms have been part of the Bluegrass since the region was first settled, and so have horse farm visitors. Early 19th-century travelers to the beautiful country estates of the Bluegrass remarked, as one put it, “a handsome horse is the highest pride of a Kentuckian.” Ready to do your part to uphold this great Bluegrass tradition? Visiting a horse farm while you’re in town is a uniquely Bluegrass kind of experience you’ll long remember, and a great way to revisit racing history, see the world’s most fabulous farms and barns, get up-close-and-personal with Kentucky Derby winners and Lexington’s four-legged stars!
