Welcome to the Kentucky Horse Park, THE place to get close to horses!
Horses have a prehensile upper lip - very sensitive and capable of feeling the smallest of differences in objects.
Draft Horses
The Gentle Giants are some of the most popular horses on the park. Come and see them in their standing stalls in the Draft Horse Barn.

Don't miss our lovely (and large!) draft horses when you visit the park. They are always crowd favorites.
DRAFT HORSE HARNESSING

Watch throughout the morning as the horses are groomed and harnessed to prepare for their days work on the Horse Drawn Trolley rides.

These horses work on a three-day rotation and can be seen in the Carriage Horse barn (Temporarily housed in the Carriage Barn due to Museum construction) on their scheduled work days.
