Surprise Dad! We took my dad on a personal Horse Farm Tour! We booked it through Unbridled Horse Tours and it was awesome! We highly recommend it!


The beginning of our tour at Keeneland on the backside after a hearty breakfast at the Track Kitchen!

Possible Derby Winners, you never know! Some of Larry Jones' horses!

Neat picture!

Viewing some horses being exercised and taking some rounds around the track! We had a great time and please check out the following website if a horse tour is something that interests you. Nancy was the best and she really personalizes it to your interests! www.unbridledhorsetours.com

Shadwell Farm!


Invasor! (I think that's how you spell it) He's worth $50 million!


That's about the closet Shelby got to the horses! She did really well!

Invasor won the largest purse ever, $6 million!

Shelby keeping busy!


Nancy was keeping up with Shelby. Here she was going into one of the barns.

Following the path.

Keeping her occupied!

Back to the barn! Shelby did great all day and Nancy was great with her!

Dad's Last Choice!


This horse actually used to be gray! As they age, they turn white! He was approx. 15 years old!

Usually every horse farm has a white horse so they're not spooked when they see one off of the farm.

Me and Sister Sister!

Susan inspecting his teeth- she was fascinated!

Rehab Center for Horses!


Water therapy!

The water is 16 ft. deep and all horses that come to the facility at least get one round in the water!

After the water, the horses walk to dry off and get to stretch their legs!

Aqua tred. This horse was on a treadmill in the water. The longest they're usually on it is for 12 minutes.

Little Miss Sunshine!


At this point, she was winding down and resting her legs.....

...but not for long. She was back at it running around!

It was so nice that Nancy kept up with Shelby while the rest of us enjoyed our time at the Rehab Center. Nancy and Shelby are best friends now!

She was amazed at how it felt on her hands!



She had a good time and didn't make that big of a mess, surpisingly!
