Out at Burr Oak farm in Lexington, Ky

Most of the horses here are for Jumping and reining. They are much mellower than thoroughbreds.

This horse is my favorite. He's a real sweet animal.


This one is a badassed biter. He will calm down after his hanging twins get snipped.


The woman on the right has spent much of her life working with horses. She is a real fan of Commissioner out of Windstream farm. You can see by the shirt she is wearing she likes that farm.


The barn from up by the covered training yard.


The covered yard.


This is lily, a rescue dog.


This dog is so lazy, when the other dogs start barking and running around, he just nods his head.


This is the Burr Oak

You can see lighter bark on the trunk. It's probably from a lightning strike alfredo Jun 2014 #4

That one is around 200 to 300 years old judging from its size.

I just moved south of you. I'm in Richmond.

This is such a beautiful part of the country.
