This December 13th, Resolute Racing is transforming the farm into a winter wonderland for an unforgettable family adventure: Santa’s Stop at Resolute! Bring the kids, bundle up, and get ready to experience the magic of Christmas.
This event supports the Woodford County Food Pantry, and donations of canned goods will be accepted throughout the day!
Your holiday journey begins at our Visitors Center, where guests will check in, enjoy festive décor, and load up for a shuttle ride to Santa’s Barn!
Upon arrival at Santa’s barn, families will be greeted by Santa’s beloved “reindeer”- gentle, friendly, and ready for photos.
Then comes the moment the kids have been waiting for: a personal visit and photo opportunity with Santa Claus! Capture memories to treasure forever with this exclusive barnside experience.
This is a perfect chance for families and children to get up-close with our horses, learn a little about life on the farm, and experience Resolute’s warm, welcoming environment during the most magical season of the year.
After visiting Santa, guests will return to the Visitors Center to enjoy Santa’s famous hot chocolate and a festive assortment of cookies. Warm up, relax, and take in the holiday spirit.
The celebration continues with a special arts-and-crafts area where kids can design and decorate their very own Christmas ornament to take home. It’s a hands-on activity families love—creative, memorable, and a perfect keepsake from their day at Resolute.
Whether it’s your family’s first trip to the farm or a return visit, Santa’s Stop at Resolute is designed to delight children and adults alike. From meeting Santa and horses to sipping hot chocolate and creating holiday crafts, every moment is crafted to bring joy, wonder, and Christmas magic!
Please note, the broodmares and racehorses will not be included in this experience. Guests will have the opportunity to meet some of Resolute Racing’s riding & rescue horses!
ABOUT RESOLUTE RACING
Established in 2023, Resolute Racing has rapidly expanded into a comprehensive breeding and racing operation. Founder, John Stewart, set down roots for his operation in Midway, KY where he purchased the former Shadayid Stud in December of 2023. This property spans 850 acres and sits on both sides of Leestown Road. Resolute runs its main broodmare and nursery on the south side of the property where it backs up to the Elkhorn, while the north side cares for its yearlings and racing layups.
Their founder, John Stewart, is a Lexington home-bred and has been an avid fan of horse racing for many years, enjoying the races at Keeneland every Spring and Fall. He purchased his very first horse in the fall of 2022 at the well-known Keeneland September Yearling Sale. This one horse, Shiloh’s Mistress, went on to be Resolute Racing’s very first win at the beginning of 2023, thus kicking off our stable that has grown immensely and nailed down his first G1 victory in 2024 with Didia in the G1 New York Stakes run at Saratoga Racecourse.
