Horse Farm Tours


Explore Lexington, The Horse Capital of the World

There’s simply no better place to get up close and personal with horses, thanks to Lexington’s abundance of farms and by extension, horse farm tours. Each tour is different, with some being working farms, others medical centers to teach you how horses are cared for, and some even allow you to meet racing legends of past and present.

Plan A Tour

There are about 450 horse farms in the Bluegrass region—150 in Fayette County alone—each with something unique to offer. Plan a horse farm experience that fits your style!

 

Book Directly With A Farm

If you’re more of an independent traveler, booking tours yourself is still a possibility! These farms, which range from Thoroughbred showplaces to smaller farms with different breeds of horses, gladly welcome individual visitors.
