Kentucky Horse ParkThe only theme park in the world dedicated to man's relationship
with the horse, the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington covers 1,200
acres in Kentucky's famous Bluegrass country. A visit to the Park
begins with a film show in the visitor's centre, followed by
exploring the vast and comprehensive International Museum of the
Horse. Guests can also wander through a self-guided farm tour
watching the farrier at work and admiring the tack shop, before
attending a half-hour parade in the show ring, which highlights the
characteristics of some of the park's 40 different breeds of
horses. In the Hall of Champions, legendary thoroughbreds are
presented for viewing and visitors can also enjoy a carriage or
horseback ride around the park's extensive show facilities. The
presentations are held only between March and October. Address: 4089 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington Website: www.kyhorsepark.com Email: info@kyhorsepark.com Telephone: (859) 233 4303 Opening Time: Daily 9am to 5pm (15 March to 31 October); Wednesday
