Walco Farms has boarded, and cared for some of the greatest Standardbred Race Horses in the business. Walco Farms has developed into 1 of the most respected boarding facilities in Central Kentucky.

Many of the horses that were boarded here at the farm went on to became winners of The Meadowland Pace, The Kentucky Futurity, The New Jersey Sire Stakes, Ohio Sire Stakes; they have also raced and won at the Red Mile - just to name a few. Their dams and sires are still producing winners to this day. We have boarded horses for some of the same clients for over 25 years; some of our clients have retired, or not as active in racing as they were due to health reasons. These factors place Walco Farms in a unique position that it hasnt been in for years – AVAILABLE space to board for new clients/horses. Our barns, and paddocks have always been full to capacity with no room to spare anywhere. What does that mean for you if you are looking to board a Standardbred race horse?
