Great intro to Kentucky Horse farms - This was a nice introduction to thoroughbred horse breeding with trips to three horse farms, visiting foals, yearlings, and learning about the auction process. Shaun, our tour guide, was a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Great time at Unique Horse Farm Tour. - My husband Tim and I thoroughly enjoyed the Unique Horse Farm tour. Our guide, Jeff, having worked at the largest horse farm in the area for 30 years had so much knowledge and experience with the thoroughbred horses and answered all our questions. He entertained us with various stories and would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends.

Fantastic tour - Shaun was a fantastic tour guide. He entertained the group with numerous stories and historical tidbits..and he clearly has a strong relationship with the farm owners and workers. You couldn't ask for a better guide. If you're looking for a truly interactive experience, this is it.

THIS is the tour you want! - THIS is the tour you want! Horse-related tours in an around Lexington abound, so it was extremely difficult to decide which one to choose. I wanted to see stallions, learn how race horses are trained, have the opportunity to visit with moms and their foals – this tour provided it all! Words cannot quite capture just how pleased we were with our Unique Horse Farm Tour and it all boiled down to our guide Jeff, who is sincerely what made the tour so special. His extensive knowledge, having spent a lifetime in the business, combined with his humor and absolute love of horses, was the heart and soul of this tour. His stories were fun, informative and extensive. We traveled from farm to farm with ease, entertained by Jeff all the while. There was familiarity and mutual respect displayed between Jeff and the individuals tending to the horses; and also between he and the horses! Of note- we were never rushed; we were able to spend plenty of time at each stop and we were the only group at each property, which really made it feel like a small, private tour with a friend rather than a commercial tour. I returned from the tour excited, enriched and surprised at how little the tour cost, considering all that it encompassed. Thank you for a fantastic time, Jeff!

Best tour I have ever been on ! - Have you ever met someone that loves their job and knows what they are doing? You think to yourself, this person is in the right place, is passionate about what they are doing, and I am having a wonderful time as their energy radiates off of them. Best part of our trip. Kids had a wonderful time!
