The Kentucky Horse Park is looking for exceptional equine ambassadors to represent their breed and wow visitors from around the world!
To be a great fit, horses should be sound and confidently going walk, trot, and canter under saddle. They must be comfortable spending 6โ7 hours in a stall, enjoy group turnout, and love attention from adoring fans! A calm, confident demeanor in the arena is a must. While we prefer horses aged 6โ18, weโre open to extraordinary candidates of all ages.
๐ We are currently looking for…
Cleveland Bay
Standardbred
Fjord
Friesian
Lipizzan
Haflinger
Irish Draught
If your horse loves the spotlight and is ready to educate visitors while showing off their breed, this is their moment to shine! โจ

First dedicated in 1947 at Faraway Farm, Man oโ War is the oldest bronze at the Kentucky Horse Park. Every year, museum staff clean and wax the Parkโs outdoor sculptures to protect and preserve them, including this monumental sculpture.
This year, Man oโ War is receiving additional restoration care. During the next week, conservators will remove the old patina, as well as any corrosion, old wax, and other residue. They will apply a new patina to restore Man oโ Warโs signature chestnut coloring, and finish with a protective wax to ensure he is around for years to come.
