Spring is the perfect time for Lexington, Kentucky horse farm tours. With its rich history and convenient location, Mill Ridge Farm is one you cannot miss!

With each turn of a New Year, January 1st,  you renew your spirit for fulfilling the dreams of your clients/friends and your own. For the Thoroughbred, in the Northern Hemisphere, it is their national birthday when they are categorically, a year older; weanlings become yearlings, yearlings become 2-year-olds no matter their actual birth dates.

Horses love carrots, and people love horses. And if you take a tour of this famous Lexington, Kentucky horse farm, you’ll get a chance to feed a horse a carrot yourself!

Imagine, twelve years ago when Price, Brutus Clay, Luke Fallon and I were dreaming on an industry initiative to open up our farms for tourism. Two years earlier, The Jockey Club requested McKinsey & Co. complete a study of our industry, and they concluded we were losing our fan base and if something was not done, the Thoroughbred industry would die on the vine.

Our children laugh at me because November is my birth month, and I remind them; ‘every day is your birthday’, and I do try and live that. The same applies to Thanksgiving except it is a holiday where we all ‘pause’ after a long year, and ‘reflect’ and hopefully families are together.

With the year approaching the end and our Championship Day of racing, Breeders’ Cup, only two weeks out, we celebrate the many “high-fives” experienced this year.

September is the Keeneland yearling sale. A single adjective to describe what the past few weeks mean for our family operation is impossible.

In our latest newsletter, we celebrate our Saratoga Sale results, Casa Creed, and Trikari!

In a Triple Crown season of firsts…first walk over for the Kentucky Derby, first time to Pimlico, and certainly its Winner’s Circle, first Belmont at Saratoga…is it too much to hope the season can deliver anymore memories?

Up next is the middle jewel of the Triple Crown! Price previews an exciting renewal of the Preakness Stakes. Check out his thoughts on the 149th running.

At Mill Ridge Farm, our long-term relationships are the cornerstone of our business. Jerry and John Amerman are not only a major part of that business foundation–they’re also our friends.
