Commentary: GO!

The Kentucky Horse Park Campground borders the renowned Kentucky Horse Park, an entertaining and informative family-friendly attraction for equestrians and anyone who likes horses. We stayed at the campground in early October. Lush Kentucky blue grass carpeted the grounds. Canvas tents were being erected behind our site as if in preparation for a cocktail reception. Since the tent was in our "backyard," David asked a worker if we could attend the event. With a laugh, he said,"only if you're a horse!" The tent was for veterinarian exams of horses competing in the cross-country trials for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games being held at the Kentucky Horse Park, September 25 to October 10, 2010. This is the first time the games are taking place in the United States!


Highlights:
While staying at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground, RVers can immerse themselves in equestrian legend, lore and competitions at the neighboring Kentucky Horse Park. Visitors can easily fill a day or more with the park's daily schedule of activities, including the Parade of Breeds, Hall of Champions Show, and Mare and Foal Show. The International Museum of the Horse and the American Saddlebred Museum are also on the grounds. Your campground neighbors may even be equestrians who are participating in Kentucky Horse Park shows and competitions.
