Kentucky Horse Park Welcomes New Sponsors as Park Visitation Tops 2.3 Million

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 13, 2026) — The Kentucky Horse Park welcomes more than 2.3 million visitors and participants annually to experience its world-class equestrian facilities, nearly 200 events, and unique opportunities to connect with the heritage and impact of the horse. The continued success of the park is made possible through the generous support of sponsors: organizations that help bring the park’s mission to life by celebrating the horse’s role in sport, history, and human culture.

Sponsorships provide critical resources that support daily operations, care for the park’s 75 resident horses, enhance amenities for guests and event participants, and empower the dedicated team who care for the animals and assist visitors across the 1,200-acre working farm.

As the park’s sponsorship program grows, we’re excited to welcome new partners joining us this year:

• Cavender’s, Sponsor of Staff Apparel & Accessories
• Chewy Equine, Sponsor of the Walnut Ring
• GS-JJ, Sponsor of Employee Apparel & Accessories
• Hymer Feed, Sponsor of Horse Supplies
• Ovation (English Riding Supply), Sponsor of Staff Apparel & Accessories
• Tarter, Sponsor of Horse Supplies/Water Troughs
• Tow and Collect, Sponsor of Equipment/Pasture Cleaner

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the many returning sponsors whose continued partnership helps sustain the Kentucky Horse Park as a world-class destination:

These partnerships offer meaningful visibility and engagement through on-site signage, digital media, and event integrations—allowing sponsors to connect with a passionate, diverse audience throughout the year.
