Kentucky Trip Part V: Visiting Coolmore at Ashford Stud

2018 Triple Crown winner Justify

In this post, I will continue to share photos from my April trip to Kentucky.  Click here to read my previous Kentucky posts. Today I will share photos I took at Coolmore at Ashford Stud in Versailles.


Coolmore is headquartered in Ireland, and while traversing the grounds at Ashford Stud, you’d think you were there.
