De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

This place is wonderful. Wendy was our guide and was very informative on all of the horses and farm. We also met the founder, Michael, and he was a sweetheart. We highly recommend visiting.

As a fifty-year fan of thoroughbred racing, this tour was just fantastic.
Meeting these magnificent horses brought me back in time and stirred memories of my Dad, who introduced me to the sport when I was a child.
Becky was a great guide, and the whole staff were just so friendly and passionate about what they do.
One of the best experiences of our trip to Lexington.

I took the regular walking tour and it ended up lasting 2 hours. When we were near the founder's house he came out to talk to our group. What a treat.
They give you carrots to feed some of the horses. My favorite was Birdstone who is both famous and infamous. If you don't know who Birdstone is look him up. He denied Smarty Jones the triple crown as a huge longshot. I am not a big horse person but I really enjoyed my time here and am glad I went. There are two horse cemeteries there and one has three Kentucky Derby winners in it.

Fabulous place and tour. Lots of interesting history. A must do if in the central KY area. Lots of uneven walking but there is limited golf cart availability, if you comment in your reservation.

We booked a tour at Old Friends & it was the highlight of our trip. Kudos to the founder for such a wonderful idea. It was such a delight to see the retired horses. A guide takes you around & gives you some of the history of each horse you visit. You are given a container full of carrots that you get to feed to most of the horses. I was surprised by the number of horses that we visited.
It is a walking tour. They did have a golf cart for a few people who couldn’t do the walk. Overall, a great experience. I would definitely return & do this again. Everyone that works here was very friendly. If you want a chance to get close, touch, or give a treat to a horse- this is your place! And how can you not want to support this program.

It was heartwarming to see these great athletes (as Michael Blowen calls them) enjoying their later years after having worked so hard for their trainers and owners. Historically racehorses have been callously disgarded or slaughtered for dog food when their purses diminish. I have wanted to visit Old Friends since i first learned about it when it was just getting started in 2003. What a thrill to see it now, home to 240 famous and not so famous thoroughbreds. I brought my grown son and his friend along on the tour. They could only imagine mud, flies and manure and fiesty, wild tempermental stallions. The farm is beautifully maintained and the horses a delight. My reluctant companions LOVED the tour and all they learned.
I especially loved learning about the improved practices in the racing industry
such as pre race xrays to check for hairline fractures. This practice probably would have saved the life of 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro who faltered in the Preakness with a hind leg broken in more than 20 places.

It was wonderful to see how the race horses are enjoying their retirement. You could tell they were receiving great treatment. It was fun learning about the history of the farm and the race horses.

To be honest, we knew little about horses and nothing about horse racing, but that didn't matter - we learned a ton from our guide Lloyd! The horses were spectacular. Feeding them was so much fun, but also learning about each of their histories was fascinating. Highly recommend!

Heard about this farm from a friend and decided to take a tour while in town. The tour, led by Tom, was excellent. We met and had the opportunity to feed many horses. The farm clearly loves the horses. Some of the horses have restrictions on what they can eat so Tom had shredded carrots and chipped carrots for those. Too cute!
If you are in town, you should consider supporting this amazing organization. Not only will you have a great time but you will be supporting the care of these beautiful creatures.

We had Barb as our tour guide and she was fantastic. All the horses we met were beautiful and we think this service the farm provides is wonderful. Each visit helps support the mission. Well worth your time if in the area.

When a 90-minute tour is over, are visitors allowed to freely roam the grounds? Or must they leave?

I have two teenage girls, and only one day in the area. Would past visitors recommend "Old Friends" or "Kentucky Horse Park"? (And why?) Thank you in advance.

Planning a visit to Lexington. Was just wondering how much walking the tour is and if tour is ECV accessible??

it is about a mile or so on uneven terrain between paddocks and that is mostly grass or gravel covered. We do have a golf cart available that will be driven by the tour guide for those guests with mobility challenges. Please call our office with more questions. Thank you. 502-863-1775.

Adults are $10, children ages 6-12 are $5. Children 5 and under are free. I am a long-time volunteer and the proceeds benefit the continued care of the horses. Thank you.

Should we bring our own carrots for the horses, or can you get them at the farm?

No need to bring treats for the horses, but please leave behind a generous donation.

Old Friends does not offer trail rides, but The Kentucky Horse Park does. Old Friends are retired race horses that enjoy meeting the fans & eating carrots.

If it is going to be your only chance to go, then don't let the rain hold you back, otherwise a heavy rain might not be as enjoyable.
