Kentucky Horse Park

November 23, 2010

One of the places that we didn't get to when everyone was out for David's and my wedding was the Kentucky Horse Park.  So, we thought we'd venture out and take the Samuelson clan to go see some spoiled horses.  When we got there we discovered that is was closed, but the grounds were open and accessible, and we ended up having a great time.  Though we didn't get the history of the horses or get to see all the different breeds that they have on site, we also didn't have to fight any crowds, and we got to get hands on with quite a few horses.





 The horses were more than happy to oblige a few little hands.

 Amazingly enough, Tristan the wild man was the one that caught up to it.

These two were absolutely inseparable. 
On the way home we took the "scenic route" through some horse farms, and saw a tobacco barn that was actually in use to dry tobacco.  Something you don't see very often anymore since most of the tobacco farms are gone from Kentucky.
