Peppermints and Horses - who knew?
Sharan_C, October 2026
Wonderful experience with such great information about horses and Lexington. It was such fun to get close to the horses and feed them peppermints. Loved going to the Dalton property where the horse sanctuary is located. One suggestion for the future - the driver that is talking needs a microphone. We were at the back of the van and could not hear very well.
