Kentucky Horse Park

Gypsy


We decided that on this trip, we would do a special attraction for each kid. The Ripley Aquarium was for the older boy, the zoo for the younger boy, and this one was for the girl. We expected to see a well planned, well maintained attraction that she would enjoy. We were wrong -- she was FLOORED! The whole park was incredible. She enjoyed everything -- from the miniature horses (both mare and foal, and no they were not ponies), to the champion race horses here to retire (Da Hoss, Cigar ($185 shy of a $10M career!),Western Dreamer, John Henry) to the statues, paintings, competitions, and the Parade of Breeds. It was a really well done presentation and a very enjoyable, though HOT, visit.
