Come horse around with us!

Let us show you the Horse Capital like it was meant to be seen!

If you are looking for a close encounter with horses, this tour is a must! Horse Farm Tours gives its guests a close-up look at the world's premier Thoroughbred horse farms. You can expect to spend approximately three hours with your tour guide visiting horse farms, Historic Keeneland Race Course and other attractions in the area. Every tour includes a drive by Calumet, two farms with a walk through one of the region's modern barns, and a tour of Keeneland Race Course. Tours depart from the Embassy Suites at Exit 115 on I-75 twice daily.

We offer a complete and comfortable tour with knowledgeable guides. We strive to make your visit to the Horse Capital of the World a part of the great Thoroughbred tradition. Our goal is to take you inside the plank fences and down the shady lanes of Central Kentucky. You will see horses after their racing careers are over, in-foal broodmares, weanlings, yearlings and depending upon the time of year, newborn foals. Our tour is unique in that we offer a glimpse into the daily procedures of working farms. You will have an opportunity to walk through the modern barns. You don't even have to clean a stall!

Testimonials
Impressed

We very much enjoyed our recent Horse Farm Tour directed by David Leet. As horse owners, we were impressed with his knowledge of the equine industry, farms and Keeneland history, as well as his hometown insight of the Lexington area. We would definitely suggest your tours to anyone visiting Lexington!

Fantastic Tour

We haven't stopped talking about how wonderful the tour was since we went! Leslie was fantastic - she packed in so much interesting information. She grew up in the area, which added an extra viewpoint, experience, and knowledge. We heard the farm tours were good, but this was so much more than good! We've been to Lexington other times, but this tour was a highlight of our visit. Thank you Horse Farm Tours!

Unforgettable Experience

My husband and I enjoyed our tour and would recommend anyone headed to Lexington to take the time and book a tour with Horse Farm Tours. Leslie made us feel like old friends. She answered all our questions and has an excellent sense of humor. Her knowledge of the horse farms and history of Kentucky made this tour a highlight of our visit.

Informative and Entertaining

Just a note to express again how much we enjoyed the tour on Tuesday. The "up close and personal" approach was so much better than the usual tour mob scene and your knowledge of the thoroughbred world is impressive. We would recommend your service to anyone.

Memorable...

I have safely returned home from my Grand Tour of the Eastern States. My visit to Lexington was indeed a memorable one. Thinking back to all the tours I took throughout my trip, yours stands out as the most memorable one. You are indeed a pro at your craft.

Great Experience!

Recently, I had the delightful privilege of going on a tour with Horse Farm Tours. Our tour guide was David, who provided an excellent tour experience. David took us to Keeneland, where we toured the grounds. We drove past beautiful Calumet Farm and then travelled on to one of the breeding farms where we were able to tour the barns and learn from the workers. We learned all about the history of horse breeding there. It was a beautiful day and with our wonderful, knowledgable tour guide David, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend!
