Giant Squirrel? There are 2 of these in the jumping area. I don't know if the horses have to actually jump these. They are huge! You don't have to be a "horse-y" person to enjoy the Kentucky Horse Park but if you are you should go. There is an RV Park in it so it made a good stopping point on our way north.
The park is a major venue for horse competitions of all kinds but also has 2 museums; one about the history of saddle horses and one about the history of horses in general and their relationship with humans since the beginning. At the end of the Saddle Museum you could ride a giant rocking horse. John said he would too but I should go first. You don't see a picture of him do you? Gullable me.
There are shows involving a variety of breeds and a parade of champions. Famous horses such as "Cigar" live at the park and you can meet them and hear about their careers. Some owners allow their horses to live there and believe me they have a good life! Many famous horses are buried and honoured there, such as "Man-O-War."

The grounds are wonderful and since spring was in full swing we inhaled the beauty of the blossoms, never ending fields of green and warm sunshine.
I feel like we've been travelling backwards since we have gone from summer to spring. The marvellous thing about it is that once home spring is turning into summer again! 
Next stop: Indiana, then home. Will post that soon.
