Does anyone know any good horse farms/places to visit in Kentucky?

Someday I would really like to visit Kentucky, but I'm not sure which places would be the best to visit! Definitely Churchill Downs, but where else? I don't think it's possible to visit Zenyatta, right? (That would be THE BEST vacation EVER if that was possible though!) I think you can visit Claiborne Farms, where Secretariat was buried? If anyone knows any other good places, please do share them! Thank you!
I love Zenyatta!!

And yeah, I know someone that got to pet Zenyatta... They are so lucky... At least we have this wonderful website, and Zenyatta has the most amazing team that updates us with cute photos and videos!!
Again depending on when you are there, try to get to one of the Keeneland meets, or to Churchill Downs for racing. The Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill is worth visiting.
If you own a mare you can visit the stallion complex...
As Three Chimneys says on there web page since the farm is a working farm no one can pet the stallions. Basically the same attitude here.
Take in the Arabian exhibit too. Gorgeous!!! UK campus is beautiful,see their library!!
Great crafts to see and buy in Berea. Keenland,yes. Training Track.
Gosh, have a SUPER time. I LOVE KY!!!! KY is # 1
You will have a great time.Good food in Lexington downtown.
Heck, I'd have a blast, staring at those horses in pasture grazing.
The Kentucky Horse Park is also wonderful. Plus, if you're a fan of collecting model horses (Breyers), Breyerfest comes to the Kentucky Horse Park every summer, July 20-22nd this year. Breyerfest is a fantastic experience.
Churchill Downs is a fun place to visit, but if you're limited on time, I'd say to focus your visit on Lexington. There's much more to see here, IMHO.
I also enjoyed Taylor Made. I went to see Eskenderya, and there are so many other great stallions to see. Emily also took me to the mare/foals barn where Pepper's Pride is - very rare for a farm to do that.
If you are a horse person (meaning you own, show and/or race horses) you might be more successful in visiting farms if you write formal letters of inquiry to the farms you want to visit. That has always worked for me in the past.
I know others on this site have recommend tours. I cannot speak about those, because I have never been on a " tour" of farms.
Certainly the Horse Park is a must and focusing around Lexington and Versailles and Paris would be wise.
However, I would definitely go to Louisville to see Churchill Downs and visit the museum and shop there. It is truly a moving experience, as will be any trip you take
to the horse country in Kentucky. It is a world unto itself.
Have a wonderful trip.

I think each Farm has different options for visiting. I saw Rachel Alexandra at Monmouth Park in NJ for the Haskell. I would love to meet Zenyatta and was very sorry she never made it to the East Coast. I feel another trip to KY coming on.

The sweeping impact of Foster’s beauty and the emotions it generates were on display again late Monday morning in the garden at the Kentucky Derby Museum. Friends, fans and museum visitors gathered there in tribute to Dust Commander, winner of the 1970 Kentucky Derby. Following that ceremony, his remains were buried alongside those of four other Derby heroes: Sunny’s Halo (1983), Carry Back (1961), Swaps (1955) and Brokers Tip (1933).
The journey of his remains from a Central Kentucky farm to the grounds of the museum was nearly as eventful as the unlikely path that led to his trip to the Kentucky Derby winner’s circle in the Churchill Downs infield.

Here's some trivia for you:
What is the only place in the world where you can see the Kentucky Derby trophy, Preakness trophy, a Belmont Stakes platter, the Epsom Derby trophy, a Breeders' Cup Classic statuette, and the World Series trophy - all in one room?
If you answered "Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, KY" - you win!
