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!

Based at his Mill Ridge Farm, Headley Bell and his Nicoma Bloodstock have been helping clients mate their mares since 1979.

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!

A turf horse launching his stud career at the age of nine might go against the stallion market grain in Kentucky, but Mill Ridge Farm has already shown a knack for bucking those trends and doing so successfully.

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.

When Erika Endive won a Dec. 8 maiden race at Kyoto in Japan, she became the fourth Oscar Performance to win over there and kept her stallion's record perfect.

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.

A good bloodstock agent makes all the difference. Start here when investigating stallions to breed with your thoroughbred mare.
