I am so glad we made this one of our last stops on our trip. The tour was very informative and really told you the history of the farm. It was really great getting to meet some of their champion horses and to see where Secretariat has been laid to rest. This is a must see if you are in the area.

Incredible experience sharing time with horses that were past derby winners. Secretariat is one of many involved with this facility. Claiborne has so many racing champions as part of its history. Great time with our guide, rodeo, wgo has been a caretaker for most of his life. Highly recommended.

My wife, her cousin and I had a really great time. Our tour guide was amazing. He was able to tell us about the horses and their backgrounds as well.

The only thing I would recommend is maybe asking the group what their knowledge of horses is.
I think some of the terminologies he used went over ...

Caliborne is one of my favorite places to visit. Rodeo has been there for 12 years and he does give a great history of the place and answers all the questions. This time he bought out a couple of the horses they have at studd there. Blame and Orb. I got to feed a peppermint to War Front.
