we also went to clairborne, which i thought was fantastic. we got a pic next to smarty, but at claiborne i got a pic of me petting monarchos! he's a sweet horse. seeking the gold on the other hand....yikes. pulpit was a good guy as well, and i was thrilled to see my 'namesake' danzig. i would suggest going to claiborne, a lot of history there.[/quote]


I have driven by Claiborne about a 100 times, never been there. I have to go to a wedding in Paris in September, did you have to make an appointment or did they have tours?

call ahead. a tour is no problem it was only us and two other guys. but definitely call ahead of time. most anyone will take you around, but they do want a bit of notice.

that's why we didn't get to tour lane's end tho..they only offer tours on fridays, and we had to leave friday am. everyone else pretty much offers tours every day except during really hectic times such as weaning. go to claiborne dot com and get the #. i e-mailed three chimneys and set it up.

or better yet....here's the link:

Thanks, my wife is in the Wedding, so instead of sitting in a hotel room by myself while she gets her hair and makeup done, maybe I'll go do this. That drive past Claiborne going through Paris is really cool, it's like a tunnel of trees.

yeah, it was. i got a ton of pics. thank god for digital--film would have cost me a fortune.
you're going at a good time. eddington will be there, they said they would be putting him in his old mans stall. and first samurai, i got to see him win his first at churchill. he's a looker.

I know that they are also doing tours at Old Friends Equine in Georgetown. I would love to go and check that out too.

I have been to a couple of the Stallion Farms, Gainesway or was it Gainesborough was the best that we visited.

We also got to see Nureyev, they had pictures of his rehab, that was really neat.
