I took my first trip to Ky, the week before Thanksgiving and besides having a trainer call to get me up close and "personal" with Pleasantly Perfect, I just called and asked if the date I wanted to go was open. I have to say, that Vinery was the nicest!! Heck, I just drove down, and went into the stud barn and Chelokee was out getting measured and I hung around as they did that, then as they groomed him and pulled his mane.The grooms and I just talked horse for over an hour and I got to go in with Silver Train, who was the sweetest thing. Then I drove around the farm and got out and took pics of the babies and mares. Gainesway was cool, the stud barns are amazing. My friend didnt care for them, but I thought they were great and Analisa who took us around, in not pleasant weather couldnt have been nicer. They brought Alex and Corinthan out for us. One thing is, dont forget to bring cash to tip the grooms!! I did at the first farm, and felt bad, so after I went and found an atm and went back! Oh and bring plenty of mints and carrots! Can you tell I really enjoyed my trip!!
