I looked up which horse farm tours list dates for our DO weekend. I know some of us have been to Jonabell, and some people may have been to some of the others listed below. I know I have been to the retired horses farm (not sure if the same one listed below) and one other, which
Herb687 might be able to refresh my memory about (I’m thinking it may have been Mill Ridge but not sure).
Can anybody make any specific recommendations from the list below? (You can find all the tours at
https://visithorsecountry.com)
Tours range from $20-$40, there are others for much more, and others on other dates but not this weekend.
