Park Sculptures


A number of horse sculptures stand in the Kentucky Horse Park, including a Man o' War statue on a pedestal near the entrance. There is also a life-size statue of the 1973 U.S. Triple Crown winner Secretariat with jockey Ron Turcotte aboard being led by groom Eddie Sweat. From harness racing, there is a statue of Bret Hanover.

In 2009, the Kentucky Horse Park hosted the North American Junior Young Rider Championships, a prestigious event for talented horseback riders ages 14–21.

Famous quotes containing the word park:

    “and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
