Lexington, KY - HorseCapitalTours.com , a subsidiary of Horse Capital Productions, LLC, has partnered with leading tour companies in Kentucky to offer the first online ticketing system for tours of the world's most famous Thoroughbred farms, with all-breed farm tours coming on board in phase II.  Tours are available throughout the year, with special tours created to run during the World Equestrian Games and the International Equestrian Festival. Visitors will experience up-close-and-personal tours of farms throughout the Bluegrass, some of which are home to recent Kentucky Derby winners.

Horse Capital Tours has partnered with other industry leaders, including the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association ( KTA), Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders (KTOB), and the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau ( LCVB) and also with top tour companies, including Bluegrass Tours, Horse Farm Tours, Inc., Lexington Connection and Thoroughbred Heritage Tours. It has revolutionized the way visitors find and book the tour that meets their needs by serving as a "one-stop shop." Tickets are available for purchase online 24/7 at HorseCapitalTours.com.

Many well-known farms and attractions are a part of Horse Capital Tours, including Three Chimneys Farm, home of 2004 and 2008 Kentucky Derby winners Smarty Jones and Big Brown.  Tourists to the farms can expect to see distinctive rolling bluegrass fields and stately homes, as well as all the operational elements of a working horse farm, such as the elegant stables, breeding sheds, and high tech training facilities.  

The thoroughbred farms serve as one of the state's most popular attractions, and promotion of the industry could benefit Kentucky's economy a great deal, said Kimberly E. Brown,
co-founder of Horse Capital Productions.  

"This is taking agritourism in the state of Kentucky into the next generation," Brown said.

Equine veterinary facilities such as Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital and KESMARC, a rehabilitation facility, are also included in Horse Capital Tours packages. Tourists will go behind-the-scenes to see what it takes to keep horse athletes healthy and happy.
