Blue Ribbon Farm

Full-care and self-care horse boarding are offered at this Lexington farm off Paris Pike. The facility serves horses of all breeds and disciplines, with a specialty in retired geriatric horses that benefit from a calm, predictable routine. Its owner is a veterinarian and applies that training to daily animal care, including feeding based on each horse's needs. Full-care boarding includes daily stall cleaning, hay in stalls and fields, and concentrate feeding. Self-care pasture board includes a dry stall and farm amenities, while boarders handle stall cleaning and bringing horses in and out. Facilities include an outdoor all-weather riding arena, wash rack, tack room, and paddocks with automatic waterers. Winter night checks are part of the farm's routine, and seasonal turnout schedules change with the weather.
