I just got back from a trip to Kentucky and thought I'd share some of the pictures I took.

thanks for sharing

You got in Lanes end and Hill n Dale without a problem?

Since you was at Claiborne, how does Easing Along look?

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that :wink:

We didn't have an appointment at Lane's End, and when at the office were told 'no tours', but drove down the road and drove into the stallion complex when we saw a couple tour buses, and a lot of cars, and we managed to blend in with the group. :lol:

Hill n Dale was part of trip; the whole reason my friend and I were down there was to take wedding pictures of a girl we went to school with who works there. Unfortunately most of the horses were in at that time, which wasn't really conducive to good pictures with the lens I had, but my friend managed to get a couple of pictures. I did get the opportunity to see some of the 'big' mares like Better Than Honor, Azeri, Silverbulletday, etc.

I don't recall seeing Easing Along at Claiborne :(

Reluctantly, but I have to ask: Where are the pictures? I don't see a link or something like that. I'm positive that the two pictures in the thread are not the only ones being raved about.

Unfortunately no pics, they were all inside, the lighting was poor, and I hate taking pictures through stall doors :(

The wedding was really nice (I think we both know the bride? PM me and I will send you a link to the pictures).

Didn't see Maryfield.
