Throughout the year, there are a lot of things for you to see at the Kentucky Horse Park. It is done in an effort to bring people and horses closer together. It has been a park devoted to horses for more than 200 years and in the beginning, it covered more than 9,000 acres of land. However, a lot of it was divided up and sold off throughout the years.
Kentucky Horse Park Events
This park is not only the home of the annual Kentucky Derby, it is also home to a variety of other events. There are equine jumping shows, the Steeplechase, MayDaze Horse Trails, and more. Not all events are focused on horses, but many of them are. There are often festivals that can teach you more about the animals we love and special events to celebrate holidays such as Halloween.
More to See
At the horse park, you can visit museums and explore some horse history and cultures. There is a Hall of Champions, a walking barn tour where you will see police horses, a blacksmith facility, and a kid’s area. The kid’s area has both stories and activities. You also have the opportunity to ride on one of these beautiful creatures. Are you ready for a day at the Kentucky Horse Park, yet?
