Claiborne Farm

Visiting Claiborne Farm was fun and educational. We did the walking tour with one of the handlers who gave us great knowledge about the Thoroughbred racing industry and some of the farm's famed horses such as Secretariat, Round Table, Mr. Prospector, and more.We had the chance to see some of the current stallions such as Silver State, Blame, and War Front. It was so cool to see some of these majestic stallions right in front of us and even pet/feed a few!We of course had to pay our visit to the cemetery and see some of the legends. It's very apparent that Claiborne Farm loves their horses and cares for them deeply. It's a beautiful piece of property as well.

Amazing place where amazing horses are bread and trained. The tour is reasonably priced and the tour guide is great and knowledgeable and knows how the handle the horses. We got to see the horses up close, feed them mints and pet them. The tour was 1 hour and really nice

A great experience, the farm is beautifully maintained, and our guide, extremely knowledgeable. We learned about the horses and the elaborate processes which goes into the development of world class champion racehorses. We also had a chance to visit with some of the beautiful horses touch them pat them give them treats ! A wonderful morning HIGHLY recommended!

Over twenty years since my first visit to Claiborne Farm, and numerous since then, it remains a place of historical significance. They have been keepers of the land, the horses and the sport for over a century, and continue to be stewards to this day with the fourth generation of the Hancocks at the helm. One of the greatest horses of all time, Secretariat stood at the farm, along with many others famous for their exploits on the racetrack.118

We had a beautiful morning at Claiborne Farms. The tour was extremely interesting and we walked the grounds. We were able to see where the horses were bred, along with seeing some of the horses.We learned all about the background of how much it costs to operate a working horse farm and the history of the farm. The gift shop was amazing and we spent over a half an hour looking for a nice souvenir of our wonderful day. My Mom. Sister, and I all got matching Secretariat t-shirts. We are planning on wearing them while we watch the Preakness tomorrow. This t-shirt is black and will go with jeans or stretch pants. I also got a pair of silver earrings that were horse stirrups. They were so cool I can't wait to wear them.Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and great tour. We absolutely loved it and the weather was perfect.

The Claiborne Farm is one of the pre eminent horse racing breeders on the world. The Farm is over 3,000 acres and home to a number of great stallions and broodmares to consistently produce winners.Upon arriving at the visitor center and gift shop we immediately left for our walking tour at the posted time. BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IN ADVANCE...walk-ins are not accepted.Our host was very friendly, knowledgeable and provided a wealth of informatiom about the farm, the breeding process and many of the famous horses produced on the farm. We toured the breeding house, stables, cemetery where the likes os Secretariat are buried. We got ip close and personal with a couple of the horses including War Front. If you are in the area and looking for a fun and unique experience I highly recommend.

Greet tour. Our guide Levi was so good. Had lots of information and stats just rolling off his tongue. Very informative.

Can't recommend this tour enough. Came to see the former stall and grave of Secretariat and left with so much more. Our tour guide, Rodeo, was AWESOME and made the entire tour for us. He's not just a tour guide btw - the tour is led by the people who do everything for these horses. In other words, they know their business.

Beautiful spot to learn and see something new. Levi was a fantastic tour guide, patiently answered ALL of our questions, and shared more tidbits than my brain could hold. We were able to pet some horses and feed them peppermints, as well as tour their stables and cemetery.

Wouldn't recommend working here from someone who has worked there 11 years of their life i will never get back this place is a major disappointment from an employee perspective
