Seggymom, I drove through Lexington and saw all of the farms on one main road there - absolutely amazing. Bernardini is one of my favorite horses of all time and your tour was a great view of many great champions! I was very surprised that Henny was so friendly, as he seemed to be a serious sprinter in his day.
good to see these great stallions standing in australia especially street cry super stallion his proginy are outstanding and leading sire in australia well done darly
Superb video, thanks for sharing! I love Darley, they are fantastic. Great stallions, beautiful facilities. Nice to see all of the stallions in their 'luxury homes'.
Bernie is a definate showoff, but why wouldn't he be because he knows how gorgeous he is! :) I wish I could have gotten closer to Street Sense but he was way over away from the rest of the boys where we had to pull the car over just to get that one picture of him. But he was super handsome! Thanks for watching! :D
Man it's been a while since i've seen Henny Hughes, he was fast! Did they say anything about why Teuflesberg hasn't been bred yet? I've seen pics of Giant's Riches, she looks JUST like her mom!
I'm not sure why Teuflesberg hasn't been bred yet. Maybe his first year at stud, his injury was still playing up and he couldn't cover mares. Maybe his first foals will be on the ground this year. :) Thanks for watching and yes Rags' daughter is adorable judging from pics! :D
He has been bred. His first crop comes out this year in sales. this year he bred a full list of mares and managed to get 35 of them in foal. Now he has been sent to florida. And still had to bring the mares back to him 3 or 4 times because he didn't get them in foal. I work on a farm that has tried to breed 7 mares last year and only got 2 in foal and this year tried to breed 3 and didn't get in foal. my boss owns shares in him and is now worth nothing.
Thanks for sharing with us pics and videos from your trip!! :-) It is great to see all these wonderful horses. I loved your video ...especially seeing Big Brown having so much fun, bucking and all, in his paddock!
Awesome! I love the description of the horses personalities. So do they just let you come and visit? I'm going to Kentucky this summer and wanted to go to all the stud farms but I don't know what the deal is.
Yeah, all the horses have very different personalities, which is very cool. Some of them are quite silly. :D Quite a few stud farms will let you visit, but most are by appointment only so make sure you call in advance. :) Have fun!
what kind of horse are u looking for and what area i have a couple studs u might like if u were looking to breed your mare (mares)

Thanks buggamalone. I think seeing Brownie playing was one of my favorite parts of the whole trip. He is definately enjoying the life of a stud. :)

Rock8mywork789 2 years ago
yup. Most of them are within a few miles of each other, so you can go to a few in one day, which is awesome. I hope you get to go!
