The Kentucky Horse Park is about to begin its winter season with new hours of operation and family events for the holidays. From November 7 until March 14, the park will be open Wednesdays through Sundays, 9am to 5pm. Over the winter, visitor focus is on the International Museum of the Horse, a Smithsonian Affiliate, and the Showplace for Saddlebreds, the American Saddlebred Museum. Gift shops for the horse park and Saddlebred Museum will be open for shopping during the new winter hours. Other activities are the Southern Lights drive through and the Southern Lights Stroll, where participants can walk through a portion of the light displays by registering online and bringing a nonperishable food item for the food bank or local animal shelter.
