Kentucky Horse Park

We traveled to Kentucky Horse Park which is just north of Lexington, KY on Sunday. There were six of us HitchHikers traveling together. When we got there we found that at least two other rigs from our tour were already there. This is a state park that deals with the history of horses and the roll they have played in America. Some highlights of the park are the Parade of Breeds, Hall of Champions, International Museum of the Horse, and the American Saddlebred Museum. The park is site of many horse competitions and is now getting ready for Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games of 2010.

Double fenced pastures are everywhere. The double fences are used to keep stallions where they belong. All fences have rounded corners so that horses cannot get hurt in a corner.

The vast expanse of fenced pastures gives the park a tranquil atmosphere.

Everywhere you look are fenced pastures.
The Big Barn is 476 feet long and 75 feet wide. Talk about big!
The Parade of Breeds displayed a variety of beautiful horses each representing their breed. A Thoroughbred

"His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of a man;
the Lord delights in those who fear him,
who puts their hope in his unfailing love."
Psalm 147: 10-11

On the road again! Today we are traveling to Bardstown, KY.
