Things to see, Places to go...!

If you are a horse-lover and are ever in the kentucky area try stopping at The Kentucky Horse Park.










They have seasonal horse shows, and a breed show.(Although we were alittle dissapointed, because they claimed to have a show including 50 breeds, but there were only about 6 or 7 total when we were there!)
It was neat, but dissapointing...



They also have an all horse museum which takes you through many centuries of horses in various cultures, there various breeds and uses, and their impact on human life.

Although it was a neat place I would recommend going there for the International Horse Games 2010 or after that has passed, because The Kentucky Horse Park was (and I imagine still is) under construction while we were there-which made it alittle harder to enjoy the grounds and to find things while walking around.
So, at a good time, it would be a interesting place to visit.*
