Kentucky Horse Park

Since we were visiting the horse capital of the world, we figured we'd better take the kids out to the Kentucky Horse Park.

My kids shrunk!

First we headed over to the Hall of Champions:

Ch. Gypsy Supreme - Five Gaited American Saddlebred Champion

Da Hoss

Breeders Cup winner 1996 and 1998

Cigar

Horse of the Decade of the 1990's

Funny Cide

Winner of the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes

Then we saw the Parade of Breeds:

Belgian

Appaloosa

Spanish Norman

Arabian

Friesian - these were my favorite

We then had a chance to see the horses up close and personal:

The Arabian was incredibly soft

The kids really liked these miniature horses.
