Kentucky Bluegrass Horse Country – Old Frankfort and Pisgah Pikes

Kentucky Bluegrass Horse Country - Old Frankfort and Pisgah Pikes

Purchase Print

A beautiful morning drive along the tree-lined scenic roads of Old Frankfort and Pisgah Pike near Lexington, Kentucky. This is the epicenter of the Kentucky Bluegrass, and thoroughbred horse racing. Outside the city limits, large horse farms circle the city for miles. And this particular stretch is among the most beautiful, especially during the summer months when the leaves are out and the grass is green and lush. If you are lucky you will see a horse or two, hanging out in the black double-fenced pastures. The double fencing allows the horses to roam freely, while limiting close interaction when needed.
