Did you know?

As you walk the sidewalks of downtown Paris, Kentucky, you will notice a feature reminiscent of the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. But instead of stars etched with a celebrity's name, you will find two horseshoes and a plaque immortalized in the concrete, honoring a horse associated with Bourbon County.

Bourbon County is home to more than 50 horse farms, some of which are known as the best in the world. The horses that were born, raised, and stood stud here are an important piece of the history of both Bourbon County and horse racing as a whole.

Fifty-nine horses and one human are honored in the Horse Walk of Fame, including the likes of Secretariat, Ruffian, Seabiscuit, Gallant Fox, and Riva Ridge. A few non-Thoroughbred horses are also celebrated in this walk, such as American Saddlebred Bourbon King; Standardbreds Duenna, Nevele Pride, and Meadow Skipper; and even a Percheron mare named Dolly, who was the nurse mare (foster mother) for Pulpit.

The lone human recognized in the walk is John Sosby, the founder of this project and a celebrated horseman.

We encourage you to make this walk a part of your next visit to Kentucky. It is a great opportunity to look back on many of horse racing's icons while exploring Paris' beautiful and quaint downtown area. ⭐️
