Campground FAQs
Is the campground open year round?
Yes! The campground is open year round. However, the summer season is very busy and we recommend making reservations in advance.
How far in advance can I make a reservation?
Reservations can be made a year in advance of the day of your arrival.
Do you provide shuttles to the park for campground guests?
Yes! Based on host availability, we are able to shuttle campers during the summer season from the campground store to the Visitor Information Center from the hours of 9 am to 5 pm daily.
Do you allow dogs?
The campground is pet-friendly. We do ask that all dogs remain on leashes and that you do your duty after your pet does theirs. A dog park is located at the campground and is available for use to Kentucky Horse Park campground guests, horse show competitors, and park guests.

๐ ITโS A FILLYโฆ AND SHEโS FABULOUS! ๐
We are thrilled to introduce the newest stars of the Big BarnโBlaze and her beautiful baby girl! ๐ฅฐ
Meet Relentless (aka Len or Lennie), born on January 25, 2026. This sweet filly is already stealing hearts with her spunky personality and those long-legged baby steps! ๐ดโจ
Weโre incredibly grateful to Dr. Steven Davison of SDC Clydesdales in Corydon, Indiana, for once again sharing this stunning mare and foal duo with us for a limited time.
Be sure to stop by the Big Barn to visit Blaze and little Lennieโand keep an eye on our stories for all the adorable foal updates! ๐

Please join us in welcoming The Player to the Kentucky Horse Park Breeds Barn! ๐๐ด
This 13-year-old Kentucky-bred Thoroughbred gelding is by Street Hero out of Hour Queen (by Gilded Time) and was trained and co-owned by William "Buff" Bradley and Carl Hurst. Known for his bold front-running style (and his love of naps and sitting on his haunches like a dog!), The Player captured hearts both on and off the track.
He retired with 5 wins from 14 starts and $453,000 in earnings, highlighted by victories in the 2017 Hagyard-Fayette Stakes (G2) and the 2018 Mineshaft Handicap (G3).
But his greatest victory didnโt happen in the winnerโs circle.
In 2018, during the New Orleans Handicap (G2), The Player suffered a catastrophic right front sesamoid injury. On the equine ambulance, Buff made him a promise:
โIโll do my partโฆ you do yours.โ
After surgery requiring plates, 16 screws, and a 178-day stay at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine equine hospital, โAngus," his rock-star barn name inspired by Angus Young, did exactly that.
His calm, kind nature and habit of laying down for hours at a time became key to his miraculous recovery.
Though he will never be ridden again, The Player can walk, run, and even playfully buck on his fused fetlock. After standing at Crestwood Farm and siring over a dozen foals (including his first winner, Rosieโs Angus), he now begins a new chapter.
At the Breeds Barn, weโre honored to share his story of near-tragedy, resilience, and the extraordinary bond between a horse and the people who refused to give up on him. โค๏ธ
