We have several of the best equine clinics in the world, are home of the world renowned Kentucky Horse Park and the Keeneland Racecourse, and are the headquarters of many of the major horse breeds and equine competition organizations.
Of course, Lexington has also long been known as the home of the University of Kentucky, UK basketball, bourbon, and for our affluent and friendly lifestyle.

The city has a vibrant downtown featuring historic districts, new infill projects, beautiful parks, excellent local restaurants, walking/biking trails, and great art and cultural centers. Urban sprawl is kept to a minimum and city is surrounded by the green pastures of grazing horses. Traffic by most city standards is minimal. You usually can drive from one end of the city to the other in less than 30 minutes, even during rush hour.
Lexington horse farms benefit from four distinct weather seasons. Since we sit on the Bluegrass plateau just west of the Alleghenies, our weather tends to be more moderate than other Midwestern locations. We also miss a lot of the heat and humidity of more southerly locations.
Just north of Nicholasville and Richmond, Lexington is steeped in a tradition of Southern hospitality. We feature a highly educated work force, low crime, and gorgeous scenery. If you come to visit you will not want to leave!
