The highlight of our week! We had such a great time on the tour with Mr. Jeff. Mr. Jeff has years and years of knowledge of horses(he said he has delivered +700 foals in his time working at a farm!) and the people of Lexington. His excellent story telling and knowledge really added that extra oomph to push this tour to 5 stars. Being able to walk into the multi million dollar barns and see/pet million dollar horses was priceless. I debated between 2 tours. The price difference was an extra $7 for this tour. Well worth its price. This was my girls' favorite part of Lexington. They were sad we weren't riding horses on this day but they petted so many horses and cats(sometimes the cats were getting more attention than the horses!) that they said this trip was their favorite vacation ever after we got off the bus. My girls are 8 and 10 and have experience around horses but horses can be temperamental so I was always watching them. The yearlings the girls got to see were so well adjusted and sweet. They just loved having the girls dote on them. I didn't worry about the girls after seeing that. One horse smelled the mint in my daughter's mouth and was nibbling at her for a treat. It was so cute! Mr. Jeff gave her a mint to pass on to the horse. She loved that! All in all we saw 3 farms and many, many horses. Lots of yearlings, pregnant momma's that were due in a few weeks, even a foal that was born the day before! The farms are beautiful and learning the history behind them and all the little details about them(like why are the fences all black?) were interesting and valuable. We all loved this tour(even my husband who is not a horse lover like the rest of us) and would go again if we are in town.

What an amazing tour with Shaun! Loved all 3 horse farms he took us to. Each of them were so beautiful and different. He was so knowledgeable regarding the Lexington horse community. Seeing the horses up close, feeding them peppermints is something I won’t forget. Oh and I can’t forget our stop at a truly amazing historic bakery. Time flew by, we would have loved to hear more! Thanks Shaun!!

It was a great tour of local horse farms on what would have otherwise been a misty gray day in Lexington. Our tour guide, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The start of foaling season made it all that much better. It was nice being able to get out and see the horses, yearlings, and foals up close and personal. Thanks Jeff

Shawn is a natural storyteller and knows the business well, which translated into a fun and interesting couple hours. We have little experience around horses, but his enthusiasm was contagious and we enjoyed every minute of the tour of these horse farms.

Fantastic tour. Sean has been in this area his whole life and his passion for horses and the business really shows. We saw brand new foals, yearlings and million dollar thoroughbreds. We went inside a few beautiful barns and even stopped by an equine hospital and observed a horse in surgery. Highly recommend this tour.
