Lexington Horse Farm Tours: Behind-the-Scenes Access to 3 FarmsThis guided tour of three Lexington-area horse farms gives you behind-the-scenes access to how thoroughbreds are bred, raised and trained for racing. A professional guide who has spent years in the industry leads the route; you visit working barns, meet foals and broodmares, feed horses treats, and watch yearlings swim. The tour runs about three hours and includes the bus, all three farm stops, and a guide who knows the families and methods that have shaped Kentucky's horse culture for generations.Is it for me?The early start—8:30 AM or noon—is what gets you to the farms when the horses are most active and the guide can show you the full day's work.
