Leaving Lexington, KY for Dry Ridge, KY

 93º here in Lexington, KY with a feel like of 98º at 6:30 pm on Tuesday evening.

Was a real nice day,  Our daughter Michelle, with her two dogs - Mouse & Dawson - got here about 11 am yesterday (Monday).  I had gone to a Havoline  place for change of oil in the pickup.  After eating lunch at the trailer we drove the area looking at all the fences and horse farms.

Arena at left is on the grounds here at Horse Park where we are camping.

Picked up lunch at Fazolis and brought it back to the trailer.

A few games of Pegs & Jokers in afternoon
and evening..

Well, it happened again.  Started this and then was interrupted by supper, Pegs & Jokers and then tiredness.  Michelle & her two dogs stayed with us in the trailer overnight.  Not a lot of room in the trailer for all of us, but we made it through.  It is now 6 am on Wednesday morning.

Tuesday morning we drove some 5 miles to a hotel were we were picked up for a Horse farm and track tour with Thoroughbred Heritage Horse Farm Tours.   Click HERE for their site  

Spent time at Keeneland Race Track.  They have races in one month in the spring and one month in the fall.  In September they have several days of one of the largest thorough bred horse sales in the nation where millions of dollars exchange hands.

 Located in the Horse Capital of the World, Keeneland is an internationally renowned racecourse and the Thoroughbred industry’s leading auction house. Founded in 1936, Keeneland’s mission is to continually invest in the industry and to preserve the tradition of Thoroughbred racing.  Click HERE for Keenland

Mike, the tour guide, took our photo near the finish line at the track.

Phyllis mentioned that her dad, who had riding horses most of his life, would have enjoyed this trip.  He passed away 35 years ago this next Sunday.

Magdalena Farms -video of horse farm we visited.

We were shown several horse farms from the road, but stopped at Magdalena Farms and spent time in their horse barn.

Mike, our guide, is quite fond of this horse, shown below.

These colts were about 5 months old and had been weened only a few weeks at Magdalena Farm.

The horses in the stalls here had just been feed, so they weren't paying a lot of attention to us.

We spent time at the trailer yesterday afternoon after eating at a very good Japanese Buffet for lunch following our tour.

After more Pegs & Jokers following supper here in the trailer, Michelle went back to her friend in Cincinnati and will return to us after we move from here in Lexington to a spot in Dry Ridge, KY where we will travel to The Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum -- on separate days near Williamsburg, KY and  Petersburg, KY in the next few days..

More Later, Lynn
