What a wonderful and historic farm to visit. My daughter's favorite movie is Secretariat. We were looking for a family getaway and decided to visit Claiborne Farm. I should mention that we're horse enthusiasts so you understand our excitement for this visit. Levi, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We got up close to some world renowned racing horses. My family got to feed them too. The tour lasted an hour and a half, which was perfect for January. We'll likely go back again at a warmer time to take the shuttle tour of the farm (it's not available in the winter months).

This was an amazing experience. We had an absolutely amazing time at Clairborn farm. The farm is extremely beautiful and tranquil. The woman in the Visitor Center was very friendly and took time to explain everything to us. The tour started right on time. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our group's questions. Participation in petting and feeding the horses was a highlight. We got to see many all time great horses and were given many chances to feed them mints, pet them, and pose with them. The atmosphere at the farm truly made us feel like honored guests. Unforgettable time! We would do it again. Highly recommend this tour!

We had an wonderful tour with Billy. He was very knowledgeable about the property, horses, statistics and took his time with us showing us the horses and stables. I will be back again! This is a must see when you are in the area! The visitor center staff was very friendly as well.

I have always wanted to visit Claiborne Farms and I finally was able to. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were given a lot of cool facts about some amazing race horses. We were able to see the current stallions at the barn and even could pet a few and feed them peppermints. It ended with the stallions cemetery where some of the great racehorse legends are (Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Mr. Prospector, etc). Amazing tour and would definitely go on it again!

We had a great one hour tour. We learned so much about the farm, some very famous race horses, and the thoroughbred industry in general. Seeing and interacting with some of the stallions was an amazing experience!!

An amazing visit to a breeding farm. We met so many champions. Learned a lot about the breeding process. Paid our respects to Secretariat. Petting and fed an 80 million dollar horse. The tour was a bit more people than I expected, but our guide made sure everyone could hear him, ask questions, pet/feed the horses and take photos. The tour felt like it went by so fast, an hour isn't enough to be around these champions. The best part was our guide, Rodeo. When my daughter learned he worked work Sham she was amazed! He was able to add a personable touch to the horses she only has ever read about and saw on tv. Thank you so much for helping her dreams come true! Your impact on a 12 year old girl from the city will last her a lifetime! I have no doubt she'll be itching for a job here one day!
