The tour guide we had was exceptional! She was very knowledgeable about the thoroughbred horses and racing. The kids really enjoyed getting up close to the horses, including petting and feeding them.

Wonderful tour, our guide Annette was so interesting and presented information in a great way. It was a lovely way to spend the morning!
Duane C, Jul 2016
Great tour and learned a lot about the Thoroughbred Industry. Guide was very good and took her time showing us around and we had some very good speakers at two of our stops in the barns. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in horses and racing or just want to learn more about the farms and how they are run.
