Today and tomorrow, I’m going to share a whole bunch of photos from last Sunday’s drive through the Kentucky Horse Park and neighboring Walnut Hall Farm: the presentation-pleasure drive for our CAA Carriage Festival. I got photos of nearly, but not quite, everyone on the drive, and I’ll share them here in the order they drove.

I say “fortunately” because a severe thunderstorm rolled through yesterday afternoon, knocking down a few trees, blowing things around, and dropping A LOT of rain.

These photos show what the KHP’s normally dry creekbed looked like this morning …

I’m heading over to the Alltech Arena in a little while to see what’s going on there and to get some photos, so I’ll have more to report tomorrow morning.

I ran out of time yesterday to prepare a blog post. And my to-do list is about a mile long.
