Keeneland Horse Park 2010
Kentucky is known for its beautiful horse parks and horse races. I can't tell you how much I love driving through the country roads and watching the horses graze (especially right now with all the colts keeping close to their mamas) or gallop along the fence line. You add lush green (or "blue") grass and white picket fences... it's absolutely beautiful.
This weekend I spent some time with friends at Keeneland Horse Park. We dressed up, picked out our horses, and cheered on the magnificent creatures.
Horses can run a mile in 1 minutes 30 seconds... That is incredibly fast. I was just in awe Saturday watching them run. I wish they could know how amazing of a creature they are. How. Beautiful.
Crowded day at the track
Every sporting event needs a big screen
Watching one of the races (number 2 was definitely not my pick...boo)
