Black Stallion Experience Opens This Weekend!!

The new Black Stallion Experience opens this weekend at the Kentucky Horse Park!
It’s an all new and beautiful wing of the Museum at the Horse Park just outside of Lexington, KY.

The special exhibt “A Gift of the Dessert” will only be there a few months but the Arabian wing that features the “Black Stallion Experience” is part of the permanent galleries.

If you’re lucky enough to be there this summer for a show, the Rolex or the World Equestrian Games … or if you’re just visiting on a drive down I-75 … take a look!
The Black Stallion is your guide through the world of the Arabian horse from the dessert to the show ring.
We hope to get some pictures of the gallery soon but it’s been such a fast and secret ride we don’t have any yet.

If you DO get to visit be sure to write us back and tell us what you think.

Check back soon for more news and photos!
