OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Conveniently located 10 minutes from I-64, 60 miles from Lexington, KY (home of the Kentucky Horse Park), and 33 miles from Churchill Downs. Downtown Shelbyville, just 10 minutes away, offers quaint restaurants, shops, and plenty of antique stores for treasure hunting. Also is conveniently located close to the Bourbon Trail.
Horses: The horses may not always be in the pasture behind the house due to pasture rotation. If they’re not in the front field, they’ll be in the back pasture behind the barn. Feel free to walk down for a visit. This is a working farm, you may see Host or her Dad doing farm maintenance, mowing or working/riding the horses.
*****In Kentucky, the Equine Activity Liability Act (KRS 411.195) states that people who participate in equine activities, assume the inherent risks involved, including injury or death caused by the horse’s unpredictable behavior. As required by this statute, there is a warning sign posted on the fence at the main gate of the property, to the right of the designated parking area.
Farm life: This is a true country escape! Expect to see wildlife like deer and coyotes and plenty of bugs.
Security: For guest safety and farm security, there is an external Ring Camera at the back of the house, monitoring the garage entry (guests do not have access unless walking to the side). A Ring Doorbell is also located at the front door.
