History:
For a quarter century the Kentucky Horse Park has been the world's only park dedicated exclusively to horses. For horse enthusiasts in both Kentucky and around the world, the land seems almost sacred ground.
Amongst the parks 200 horses are representatives of more than 50 breeds; the largest grouping of its kind in the world. For its just under one million annual visitors, the Horse Park stands as both a monument to the horse, as well as a bustling modern horse farm.
The land that is now the Kentucky Horse Park has a long, intricate history that has been passed down from a famous Indian fighter, to a dueling doctor, to a man who simply wanted fast carriage horses. Since that day, millions have visited the park.
