Today we went to the Kentucky Horse Park. First we did a small museum. Then we did a short movie. When we went outside, we did a Parade of Breeds show. There were many different kinds of horses. One lady rode side-saddle. There was a girl who was only 11 years old! Then we just walked around talking to the riders. Then we did a mare and foul show in the third largest barn in the world. Then we stopped for something to drink. We walked around, and then went to the Hall of Champions. We went to do a horse drawn trolley tour of the farm, but it was pulled by a tractor because it was too hot for the horses. Then we went to check out any other stuff we missed. We went into the gift shop, and also went to see Man ‘O War’s statue. There was an area where you could see how many steps it takes you to make one horse stride. I got one souvenir penny, one magnet, one keychain, and four postcards.
