We spent the day at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington Kentucky. This is the last day of our vacation. The park is very large, and even if you spent a full day there, you would still not cover everything. One of the first things that e did was a Parade of Breeds, which consisted of a parade of about seven breeds of horses. One horse would ride into the ring and we would learn a little about its breeding background and purposes. Among the breeds that we saw were the Friesian, the Andalusian, the Akhal-Teke, the Morgan, and the Icelandic horse. It was very interesting. We also did the Hall of Champions presentation where we got to see four champions in horse racing, including the richest horse in North America, the one and only “Cigar”. HE won 16 victories in a row and won a few hundred dollars shy of 10 million. After this show, we went to a museum that showed the uses and importance of horses throughout all time. We also viewed a mare and foal show. The park was amazing, with something for everyone to enjoy. It was a great ending for a wonderful trip.
P.S. Barbaro had a decent day yesterday and Friday, which is great. Doctors say his situation is still “extremely critical”, but this is good news! Get well soon, Barbaro!!!
