My family and I booked this tour during the Horse Country meet your neighbors event. This was such…read morea great tour and facility. Jamie and Sara were out guides this day. They have a little conference room set up with pictures of history of those that have worked there and medical vices they have been over the years. We toured their surgery center where we were able to watch them perform on a colicky horse that became an emergent situation. The horses intestine when stretched out is the length of a football field. We also toured the medicine center. This is where they take care of orthopedic medical necessities and mare and goals and NICU for the babies. Our guides were friendly and nice and interacted with the kids to keep them engaged. This was so informative and a great educational visit for kids as well as adults!

There is even a huge "equine walker" of sorts designed by NASA that assisted in the mobility of a well known thoroughbred. Note that their new and expanded pharmacy on the R&R campus is open to the public and carries products for felines and canines as well.

I can't say enough about Old Friends. It's just wonder how the Founder, Michael Blowen, President,…read moreJohn Nicholson, and their entire staff have dedicated their lives to taking care of these fabulous Thoroughbred's. The staff is very informative and friendly. They take their time providing detailed history of each horse you see. We were able to pet a couple and feed all of them. Remember, put the carrot on an open/flat palm. We met Silver Charm, the oldest Living Kentucky Derby winner. We met Preakness Stakes Winners, I'll Have Another and Big Brown. We also met Hall of Fame, Lava Man. Over $150 equine athletes in the facility. I will return someday soon to do the Founders Tour!! Thank you for a memorable day with one of my favorite animals that God created.

Her property really shows how much she cares about the pets she takes in for daycare and overnight. She does pick up and drop offs conveniently located off I75. Her prices are very reasonable and it's much much better then traditional boarding places. Here the dogs are out majority of the day playing and being dogs! I will not take my dog anywhere else! Thank you Marlize!

We have been using K9 Safari for several years now and our dogs absolutely love it there. We…read morediscovered K9 Safari when searching for a place that we could board our German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety. He was a rescue and standard kennels are a 100% No Go for him. We went and checked out the K9 Safari facility and were impressed with the spaces provided for the dogs to play both inside and outside. Despite the facility being in Richmond, Marlize makes drop off and pick up convenient for clients by offering drop offs right off I75 or at various locations in Lexington. My two Shepherds get excited when they see the doggie bus pull in and they hop right in. That tells me they are happy there and I don't feel bad having to leave them when we go on vacation. She regularly sends pics of the dogs to us via text so we can see how much fun they are having there. I often say our one Shepherd is actually sad when she has to come home because she only has one dog to play with at home vs lots and lots of different dogs there. I recommend K9 Safari to everyone who is looking for somewhere to board their pups.
