Kentucky Derby Museum Part 2

July 24, 2015December 28, 2024Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

After we walked around the museum we went outside to participate in the Historic Walking Tour.
Our tour guide showed us the jockey outside. He’s painted every year to reflect the current winner.

Along the sides of the buildings are all of the winners of the Kentucky Derby winners.

The Triple Crown winners are in gold with a crown.

Then we continued our walk and stopped at a garden before entering the race track.

In it was a statue of the first ever Derby winner, Aristides.

Pat Day also has a statue.

The racetrack was pretty.

The tour ended with the resident real horses.

Risen Warrior was born in 1996 and won over $500,000 during his racing days.

Winston, the mini horse, was born in 1993 and has lived at the museum for 19 years.

Near the resident horse area was a garden which held the gravestones for five Derby winners.

Eight Belles, who ran second in the 2008 Kentucky Derby, also had a memorial.

Going to the museum and being able to participate in the walking tour, was an educational experience. Going down to Breyerfest early was a great idea. :)

Horses and active cubs

December 21, 2014December 28, 2024Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

While I enjoyed the Przewalski’s horse immensely, the period of time that we spent watching them consisted of the pair filling themselves up with hay.

Still, there were many interesting shades and colors on them.

Many of the animals did not come outside due to the chilly weather.
Still, the otters seemed to have a ball.

The cheetahs walked around.

But the lions were the most active. Specifically the younger lions.
While this guy stood at the highest part of the rock formation looking very regal and majestic,

the cubs were playing,

climbing,

and chasing each other.

Erin and I stood there the longest because the Cubs seemed to be having so much fun.

Also, don’t forget to submit any accomplishments, photos, models, etc from 2014 for the 2014 replay!

Washington D.C Zoo

On Thursday, my friend Erin and I went to the Washington D.C Zoo. She came back from Japan a couple of weeks ago, so the two of us decided to do something adult-y. Of course we set our sights on the zoo.
