Almost everyone agrees that Kentucky’s Bluegrass region is the Horse Capital of the World. It is also a uniquely beautiful area that welcomes thousands of visitors each year, drawn by the beautiful and historic horse farms that gave birth to some of the world’s finest horses. Some of the farms featured in this book have histories dating back to Kentucky’s early statehood; some are fairly recent additions to the racing scene. A few have absentee owners; others are family-owned and operated. All of them, however, have one thing in common: they have consistently produced outstanding horses.
Horse Farms & Horse Tales of the Bluegrass tells the stories of these farms and the horses they have produced. It also includes a visitor’s guide to all things equine – including racetracks, rehab facilities, and a school for jockey wannabes. Whether you’re visiting the area for the first time or are a life-long Bluegrass resident, we hope this book will give you a new appreciation for this exceptional region.
