Meet the mamas and young horses of the equine industry at our nursery farms! These farms are where mares are cared for and foals are raised and prepared for racing, sales, or other jobs. On a nursery farm tour, you will learn about broodmares and breeding, and the life cycle of the horse.
Depending on the time of year, you might see foals, weanlings or yearlings. Nursery farms tend to lend themselves to experiences that are suited for all ages, and can be fairly interactive.
