I met a lovely man named Dave in the champion horse barn. He was fantastic, and took the time to tell me a bit of horse history. He even brought one of the retired champions up to the stall door so that my dog could get familiar with horses. Meeting Dave made my entire trip that even more memorable. We got to stop and watch some of the horse events going on. I loved watching the horses competing in the jump course. This is a large park and there is a lot to take your time and see. They have a nice gift shop. There is a food hall too but I didn't try it during this trip. It is $28 to get in, but is worth it and you can get in the next day for free. I am glad I had the opportunity to stop and see the park.

My FiL and I went here to get a huge long leash, Read:horse lead for his dog. We know almost nothing about horse apparel and accessories, so we were having a hard time finding exactly the right lead. The helpful lady behind the counter looked up what we needed after he described it, and came out to dig around the leads for us. We ended up leaving with a 35' horse lead, which we will be using to walk a dog. To her credit, the woman did not laugh or even bat an eye when he told her why we were buying a horse lead. These are very friendly people, and to my eye (which has no horse accessory buying experience) very fair prices.
