- HeatherJun 20, 2024Fun Day Out!
The Kentucky Horse Park is a fun place to visit with a well behaved dog. We were lucky the day we attended was cloudy and the concrete wasn’t hot but there’s plenty of grass to walk on if that hadn’t been the case. Nice outdoor place to eat at the restaurant. Pay attention to the “show” schedule and be there to see them all. It’s interesting!
- AprilMay 24, 2024Awesome Spot!
Fantastic and welcoming place for pups and people alike. This was the first time our border collie was up close with horses and she did fantastic. Be aware that there may be lots of horses being lead throughout the grounds definitely recommend short leads for pups to ensure they stay safe. Highly recommended.
- SueMar 1, 2024Great place to visit
Had fun visiting this horse park. Dogs welcomed. Staff very friendly to us and the dogs. If you are in Lexington: go!
- JennaAug 10, 2023Excellent Adventure!
We were told by several people that this place was a "must visit" while in Lexington and they were not wrong! We had a great time! The park is only $20 for adult admission and I believe that's a two day pass. The grounds are absolutely expansive and massive. And all pet friendly. The staff was super friendly and engaging with out puppy. Just make sure you go when you can spend some time there because you're not going to want to leave!
- CyndiMay 19, 2023Place was awesome
talk about dog friendly! the only place dogs are not allowed is in the museum and restaurants. everyone was kind to Sam and we learned so much about the horses.
- RebeccaJan 18, 2023Fun & educational walk!
Spacious place! We were there on a slow day, but the guy at the gift shop said during the summer they could have 3,000 people a day. It was a really nice walk around the property…with educational signs & barns to walk through. Everybody was friendly. The dogs had a blast!
- JessicaDec 28, 2022Great Experience
It was quite cold when we went, but our pup had a blast. All of the people and horses there were great with our dog, who was quite excited until he actually got up close to a horse and realized how big they were. It was a great time for our dog, but we (the people) enjoyed the talks and experience. I'm looking forward to going again.
- MelissaSep 4, 2022Great Adventure
I will say know your pup before you go but Letty loves horses and isn’t a barker so we had a blast walking the grounds, watching the horse shows and cooling off in the visitor center. You won’t be allowed in the museum but if you take turns.
Letty had a blast and it made up for the 6 hours in the car! - KarrieApr 2, 2022Best Stop

- BritniMar 27, 2022Amazing place!!
pup and I had the best time! spent 2 hours strolling through the park. she loved the smells and everyone was Soo nice! perfect place for pups
- BaileyDec 4, 2021Loved being able to bring my pup for this incredible experience!
I just moved to Lexington for the month (I travel around the country working remotely) and was in need of something fun to do for my birthday, but I don't have a pet sitter yet. I checked out Bring Fido and saw the Horse Park. I'm not into horse racing, but I do love animals and I love walking with with senior pup Harley, so we gave it a go. I'm so glad we did! We spent an hour in the morning just walking the grounds, then in the afternoon we did the stall-side meet and greets where you get to meet the horses. The staff was super friendly to my pup, and she got to be up close and personal with famous horses. This place definitely exceeded my expectations.
- CassandraNov 6, 2021Great fun
They were great about our dog. She is still learning but she loved walking around and looking at the horses, who were great around the dog. The staff were friendly and we got to see all the shows as well. Just make sure you are aware there are certain indoor spots like the museum and gift shop that dogs are not allowed unless they are service animals. But overall a great experience for dogs and people.
- WendyAug 2, 2021Wonderful experience! 🐎
I learned about KHP from Bring Fido, so THANK YOU! We stayed in the campground for 2 nights & loved visiting the park! I expected restrictions, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how many areas where open to well-behaved pups! 💝
- KimberlyMar 31, 2019Great place
I didn't bring my dog bc I didn't know it was dog friendly. While visiting, I saw tons of dogs there. It was a really nice park. I loved being able to pet the horses.
- MarciaMore than a year agoExcellent!
The whole park except the museum is dog friendly. At the museum, the young ladies at the front dog sat for us while we toured the museum.
