Beautiful facility. The mezzanine area is nice & wide so you can watch from the top or from stadium seating, whichever you choose. Staff is friendly and helpful & the lunches are yummy... Faves are the tomato bisque, wraps, pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw.

We only go for the Rodeo but there are lots of actives that go on year round. They have conference centers that over look the riding ring too. A horse lovers must!

This is one of the BEST locations to show (and watch). The staff is incredibly friendly and the facilities are in amazing condition. If you are out to do something fun (and free) with the family then take them here to watch the horseshow. If you are competing, I can honestly say that there is no place better to go... More

This is the BEST horse park we've seen and we've seen a lot of them! New additions every year we come back. The horses love the roomy stalls. The rental price is very competitive, but it's really well worth the price and the travel, especially when your beautiful horse wins a prize! We deffinately reccomment this horse park for horse...

We stop and watch the kids all the time, great events, most of the times its free unless its a commercial show. We love horses and it's nice to be around the nice people and kids. They have nice concession stands and food available most of the time.

There are horse shows most every weekend of the year. We have been there three times. If you like to see horses, this is the place to go. The arena is amazingly large and there are lots of outside events too.

This is a lovely facility in a very scenic country setting but very easy to get to from Lexington's downtown. Competitions there feature some of the best horses and riders in the country.
