We had the most awesome day today. First off the Campground is
gorgeous and a real find. We highly recommend the campground if you
come to Lexington. The Kentucky Horse Park is a State Park and the
Campground is part of it. We spent the entire day walking around the
park and enjoying the magnificent grounds, meeting some of the retired
thoroughbreds, and touring the International Museum of the Horse. At
the Hall of Champions they brought the horses out one by one so we could
see them up close and personal. Two of the Thoroughbreds, "Funny
Cide" and "Go for Gin", are former Kentucky Derby Winners. Breeders'
Cup Champion "Da Hoss" and a Standardbred champion, "Mr. Muscleman".
What magnificent horses! The Museum was amazing and loaded with memorabilia from some of the great races, horse history and anything you would want to know about horses in general.

| Lots of these guys hanging out around here. Chirping up a storm, especially in the morning. |

| This mechanical horse moves when you push a button and shows you how the muscles work when a horse is running. |

| This guy hangs out at the Mounted Police Barn. Since I was taking pictures of animals I thought he should be included. |
