"When you are on a great horse, you have the best seat you will ever have."

We left the campground yesterday about 9:30 and were transported via golf cart to the visitor center in the horse park.   First of all, we were given a Clydesdale drawn trolley ride to become acclimated to the park then we were on our own two feet to see whatever we wanted to see.    We visited the Hall of Champions first and met four retired race champions.   Check out http://www.kyhorsepark.com/ and meet them for yourselves.   Our favorites were Da Hoss and Cigar.    Beautiful animals.   The handlers were quite interesting as well.  The little black man is 84 years old and his first experience with horses was when his father tossed him up on Man O' War when he was a youngster and he was hooked.   Has worked in the horse business ever since.   We then saw a show of breeds followed by a visit to the museum.   Gifts of the Desert is a temporary (on loan) exhibit from Saudi Arabia portraying the history of the Arabian horse.   The exhibit was heavily guarded and no cameras allowed ....because of the high value of some of the pieces on display.   In our opinion, the permanent exhibit owned by the park was incredibly interesting.   Tom's ready to go to dinner ...... willl send photos later.    Love to all.
