Mares and foals are turned back out into the fields and stay out for the rest of the day. Yearlings are turned back out into the pastures. The day is over for the horses. The day is also over for most employees. Managers are on-call 24 hours a day.
Most department heads live on the farm.
If it was not for some of the Hispanic population that is now in Lexington, a lot of farms wouldn't exist. Although the operation may change somewhat during the rest of the year, the farm concentrates on breeding and selling horses. Sales generates the money to run the farm, Howard says. The fall sales are also important for the farm. Fall brings the separation of foals from their mothers.
