Kentucky, Horse Country

May 5, 2012, never finished this one.  Here we are entering Kentucky, another state to add to our "states visited" list, that leaves us only 11.

I loved the roads we traveled.    Forget the major highways.

This is where we stayed in horse country.

This is one of the horse barns we visited, beautiful, and you couldn't even smell horse "dodo".


The horses were all taken very good care of.  This was a fairly new Mama.

And here is her baby.  What a cutie.


Each stall led to a large paddock, note the narrow strip between the 2.  This was a breeding farm, so they have to keep the horses apart.

Our tour bus, we went to 3 horse farms and they were all exceptionally clean.  Many of the studs were winning race horses so the stud fees were humungus.

This wasn't a breeding farm, just one of the many farms in the area.  Horses are such majestic animals.
