The Kentucky Horse Park is a working horse farm and an educational theme park located near Lexington, Kentucky in the United States. Dedicated to man's relationship with the horse, the Park opened in 1978 and each year since has hosted a large number of special events and horse shows and attracts almost a million visitors annually.

The Kentucky Horse Park has been a retirement home for some of the world’s greatest competition horses including thoroughbreds Cigar, voted Horse of the Decade for the 1990s, John Henry, the top money-winning thoroughbred gelding in racing history, champions Forego, Bold Forbes, and Da Hoss, the only thoroughbred to win two Breeders Cup races in non-consecutive years.

Besides thoroughbred horses, standardbred greats such as Western Dreamer, Cam Fella and Rambling Willie have made the Kentucky Horse Park their home.
