In 1981, Darley HQ was established in the UK at Dalham Hall Stud, near Newmarket, the historic home of Thoroughbred horseracing. Darley currently stands around 80 stallions in seven countries around the world, headed by Dubawi, son of the famous Dubai Millennium. The world-renowned breeding operation includes Kildangan Stud in County Kildare, Ireland; Jonabell Farm, in Kentucky, USA, and two studs in Australia, Kelvinside and Northwood Park. There are also studs in France, New Zealand and Japan. Darley is named after one of the dominant foundation sires of the modern Thoroughbred, the Darley Arabian. Today the Darley name is synonymous with stallion breeding excellence. This information is from their website. Nyquist is one of the horses at Jonabell Farm, Kentucky. Undefeated in eight starts when winning the Kentucky Derby. Eclipse Champion at two when he won three G1s, including the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. The first champion two-year-old to win the Derby undefeated since the great Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. Also only the second horse ever to take the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and Kentucky Derby. He's the leading first-crop covering sire in 2017 with an average of over $300,000. We had a great day at this farm and really enjoyed our day here. This is a must see on any tour of Lexington. The tour is $20 and $10 for children.

No words can describe it's beauty so I won't even make an attempt at it. I've been to a lot of farms and this is by far the most gorgeous. While attending the 41st annual Kentucky Bash held at the tent area on the farm, I learned that the owners of Donamire allow Cardinal Hill to host the event on their beautiful farm as their donation. That makes me want to contribute to the Ball family all over again. I don't know if they give tours or not, but if you ever get the opportunity to attend an event here, do it! I sure would love to learn more about this beautiful part of the Bluegrass!

I've been to Donamire Farms twice in my life, both for family reunions, and it's a beautiful setting for such, where thoroughbreds run along fenced rolling Kentucky countryside, and swans float gracefully over placid waters. Horse barns, with interiors kept far more pristine than my boys' bedroom, dot the landscape. A guest house set a couple acres off the main house also lines the circuitous road that travels through the grounds. It, too, is as opulent as the main, albeit a bit smaller, but larger than any place I've ever stayed. It is all a very pleasant backdrop to seeing those I don't see often, likely not often enough.

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!
