A stallion is surrounded by white fences lined with spring flowering crabapple and cherry trees creating an idyllic, picturesque setting for a Thoroughbred horse farm. What makes Kentucky special is that it is geologically favored for horses. Millions of years ago, layers of shells were buried and the crushed limestone makes the grass rich in calcium. As the land sinks, hills and valley are formed which make a perfect terrain for building strong muscles when horses run.
