From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kentucky Horse Park is a working horse farm and an educational theme park opened in 1978 in Lexington, Kentucky. The equestrian facility is a 1,200-acre (4.9 km²) park dedicated to "man's relationship with the horse." Open to the public, the Park has a twice daily Parade of Breeds, showcasing both common and rare horses from across the globe. The horses are ridden in authentic costume. Each year the Park is host to a number of special events and horse shows.
Every year from one week after Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, the Kentucky Horse Park features a three-mile (5 km) drive-through Christmas lights display.
Although the park is owned by the state government, it is administered separately from the the state park system.
