Park Sculptures


A number of horse sculptures stand in the Kentucky Horse Park, including a Man o' War statue on a pedestal near the entrance. There is also a life-size statue of the 1973 U.S. Triple Crown winner Secretariat with jockey Ron Turcotte aboard being led by groom Eddie Sweat. From harness racing, there is a statue of Bret Hanover.

In 2009, the Kentucky Horse Park hosted the North American Junior Young Rider Championships, a prestigious event for talented horseback riders ages 14–21.
