This unique attraction showcases all breeds of horse through daily equine presentations, three outstanding museums, horse-drawn tours and carriage rides, an art gallery, horseback riding, pony rides, and special exhibitions. The park hosts the most comprehensive schedule of equestrian events in the country. Equine enthusiasts flock to the Kentucky Horse Park to witness steeplechase, cross country competitions, specialized breed shows, carriage driving, polo, and the only four-star equestrian event in North America, the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event.
Visitors to the Horse Park have many opportunities to get “up close and personal” with the Park's many four-legged residents. A highlight of any visit to the park includes a walk through the Hall of Champions barn to meet Thoroughbred legends like Go For Gin. Retired celebrity horses of many breeds make their home at the Kentucky Horse Park much to the delight of adoring fans.
In the fall of 2010, the Kentucky Horse Park became the first North American site to host the FEI World Equestrian Games, the largest sporting event ever to be held in Kentucky. More than 500,000 spectators converged on Lexington to watch over 800 athletes and more than 900 horses from 60 countries competed in this event.
