“Of the three farms in Kentucky and the two(ish) farms I've been to in California, Spendthrift Farm is definitely my favorite horse farm to visit! The staff are nice and very knowledgeable, while the actual farm is such a pleasant place to be. I feel that this farm embodies the spirit of Kentucky: many rolling hills and fields of Kentucky bluegrass. It was definitely a great experience and I recommend that any of you who like horses and horse racing go on a tour here!”

Will definitely recommend this tour to our friends. Thank you.”
