Several cities and towns could legitimately vie for the title of “Horse City USA” due to their large equine populations and horsey cultures. Off the top of my head, I think of Norco, Calif., Ocala, Fla., Weatherford, Tex., Aiken, S.C., and of course, “The Horse Capital of the World,” Lexington, Ky.

I’m fortunate that work frequently takes me to Lexington, arguably one of the most horse-centric places in the country. It’s the heart of the U.S. horse racing industry and home to the Kentucky Horse Park (and the United States Dressage Federation, U.S. Equestrian Federation, U.S. Pony Club, the American Saddlebred Association, and many, many more)
