Some tour vehicles are air-conditioned; however, depending on the type of tour, you may walking for a portion of your tour. In the summer months in Lexington, you should dress for hot to warm weather. It is a good idea to bring a raincoat, as not all locations with horses will permit the opening of an umbrella. If you are planning one of the horse farm tours, you will want to wear comfortable, close-toed shoes. Leave the bulky backpacks at home. Don’t forget your camera.
