  The Kentucky Horse Park welcomes you to the Epicenter of Equestrian Life, Sports and Business. There is absolutely no other place in the world where horses and people connect more often or in as many unique and powerful ways as they do here at the Kentucky Horse Park. For the equine world, this is the center of the universe; a 1,200-acre working horse farm, tourist attraction, world-class equestrian competition facility and equine business park that truly has no equal in terms of the breadth and quality of opportunities and experiences for anyone who is involved with - or simply appreciates - horses and horse sports. The Kentucky Horse Park welcomes nearly 1,000,000 visitors and 15,000 competition horses from around the world each year as they converge on our beautiful, bluegrass farm to enjoy horse shows, museums, equine presentations, symposiums, gift shops, art exhibitions, green pastures, white fences, an arboretum, and to do business in our National Horse Center - a collection of state, regional and national equine organizations that are located here. Our goal is to honor the horse and its unique relationship with man in everything that we do, and we invite you to experience the epicenter of equestrian life, sports and business as you explore our website and then visit our park for yourself.

  There are few reptile collections that can compare to the diversity of animals on display at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo. Animals on exhibit range from an 18 foot reticulated python, our largest resident, to many types of venomous snakes such as cobras, vipers and rattlesnakes, to Fluffy the alligator. One of the favorite areas for kids is our Turtle Tracks Area, where both tortoises and aquatic turtles can be seen.
