Kentucky Horse Park

Posted byTrail RockerPosted inUncategorized

For the past three nights Barbara and I have been staying at the Kentucky Horse Park campgrounds. Yesterday we visited the horse park. This is a beautiful park. When I first saw it I thought of the Kentucky Derby. While at the horse park we learned a lot about horses, got to meet some former champions and got to see different breeds of horses perform. It made for an enjoyable day.
