Awesome guide! He was very knowledgeable as he has been in the horse industry his whole life.
Our guide Jeff made the experience so great!
The meet up spot was hard to find but overall it was an amazing experience that I would do again.
Met one of Curlin’s daughters up close! Learned so much about thoroughbred horse farms and the history of the many farms in Lexington. We took our time, Jeff the guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable. Jeff: thanks for putting up with all my questions! 🤩
I love horses and Shaun's tour exceeded all expectations and hopes. He's knowledgeable, passionate, kind and engaging. We're not typically people who enjoy listening to guided tours, however, Shaun's stories and insights were full of purpose, interesting facts and optimism. We visited multiple farms and enjoyed "meeting" various breeds of horses. Best part of the tour was feeding carrots to the horses and getting to pet them when they were interested. We're returning to the Lexington area soon and look forward to another five-star afternoon with Shaun.
If you have any interest in thoroughbred horse racing (or no interest), this was a very interesting tour! Jeff was our guide and he was awesome, very knowledgeable and humorous! Would highly recommend this tour, well worth the price!
The Unique Horse Farm Tour with Insider Access to Private Farms was a fantastic and memorable experience. Visiting private horse farms gave us a rare behind-the-scenes look at the care, training, and daily life of these magnificent animals. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. The farms were beautiful, well maintained, and the horses were clearly well cared for. It was a relaxing, informative, and enjoyable experience that offered something truly different from the usual tourist attractions. I highly recommend this tour to horse lovers and anyone looking for an authentic local experience.
We had a wonderful time on this horse farm tour. Shaun was an excellent guide, so fun and very knowledgeable about the farms and especially the horses. The highlight for me was petting the yearlings and visiting the mamas with their babies. I highly recommend this tour and would go on it again.
Our guide was fantastic. The tour was not rushed and got to spend time with the at the horses at the first farm. Very interesting; well worth it.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable! Worked on farms all his life! Delivered horses! We went to beautiful farm. Able to interact with horses and fed them peppermints! It was great
