About this activity

Our Horse Farm Tour gives its guests a close-up look at the world's premier Thoroughbred horse farms. You can expect to spend approximately 3- 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 including a walk through one of the region's modern barns, plus a tour of Keeneland Race Course. Tours depart from several area hotels.

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. We want to leave a lasting impression of this experience by taking 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 and you don't even have to clean a stall! Make sure you bring you camera as there will be plenty of photo opportunities.

This was a really wonserful experience made even more remarkable by having a retired jockey and trainer as your guide. Ernie provided insight that could only be provided by someone with inside experience. Keenland was amazing and the tour of McPeek barns and the chance to interact with mates and their newly born foals was very special.

Our guide Tom was very knowable about the beautiful horse barns in Lexington. Got a tour of Keeneland Race track. It's beautiful. Also got to see and pet horses, some only a few months old. Tom was full of information. Highly recommend this tour.

Tour director Ernie was awesome! He was very friendly and informative, and with many years of experience in the house industry with a lot of knowledge to share. I recommend the morning tour, you'll get to see morning workouts at Keeneland. Keeneland and final stop a horse farm with several foals were personal highlights of our tour. Highly recommended for all ages.
