Today was a beautiful day in Kentucky and we took advantage of the sunshine by visiting the Kentucky Horse Park. The Horse Park is a huge complex with large barns, museums, show rings, famous horses, mares w/foals, etc. Below are some of what we enjoyed:

 |
| IRISH PONY |
 |
| THE SPANISH-NORMAN HORSE IS THE RE-CREATION OF THE MEDIEVAL KNIGHT'S CHARGER |
 |
| DID YOU KNOW THE LEGEND OF A HORSESHOE OVER THE DOOR? |
 |

 |
| RETIRED RACE HORSE |
 |
| FAMOUS BAY HORSE "CIGAR" HAD A 16-RACE WIN STREAK IN 1994-96 AND IN HIS CAREER HE WON ALMOST $10 MILLION. IN 1997 HE WAS SYNDICATED FOR $25 MILLION AND RETIRED TO STUD IN KENTUCKY. AS IT TURNED OUT NONE OF THE MARES HE SERVICED GOT WITH FOAL, AND AN INSURANCE COMPANY IN ITALY PAID A $25 MILLION INSURANCE CLAIM. |
