Lexington

Lexington needs 1 day: touring the Kentucky Horse Park, a theme park and museum entirely dedicated to the horse, with over 50 breeds on display, and driving past the thoroughbred breeding farms surrounding the city, with their signature white fences stretching for miles, the same afternoon. April-June and September-October bring the mildest weather. It's mid-priced for Kentucky. It's known as the 'Horse Capital of the World' for the extremely high concentration of thoroughbred breeding farms in its surroundings, with limestone-rich soil that favors foals' bone development.
