Take a drive on the back roads of the Bluegrass, which are within a couple miles of my home, and I guarantee you’ll be stunned by the beauty of the stone fences, the carefully maintained pastures, and the serene herds of Thoroughbred horses. All arguments about which U.S. locale gets the designation of “horse capital of the world” aside, no one can argue that Lexington is a fine example of horse country.

My bike routes take me past many a horse farm.
