We enjoyed both tours we completed at Claiborne Farms. We did the walking tour that included seeing the breeding program facilities and seeing several stallions. Our guide shared lots of information about the stallion business as well as about individual stallions. We loved being able to see them up close when he brought Kentucky Derby winner Orb out of his stall and War Front for us to have pictures taken with them or feed them a peppermint. Well worth our time and money! In the afternoon we did the Farm shuttle tour of the back part of the farm. We got to see daily operations and the beautiful grounds as well as mares, weaklings, and the “grandmas” who live their life out on this beautiful farm. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered any and all questions. Great Day!

This place knows how to do agritourism! Worth a visit in the fall even if you don't like apples. Check out their on line calendar as they have live music, a nature trail, pancakes, fresh fried pies, cold cider, cider slushies. Great trip for families with kids. Owners and staff are great!

Sara is very knowledgeable of the industry and can answer any questions. I loved seeing the foals playing and feeding peppermints to their Moms! I would highly recommend visiting Runnymede
