Happy Trails, Annie!

Since its inception in 2000, the Kentucky Horse Park Volunteer Program has served as an invaluable resource to the Park.  Day-to-day operation of the Park is only made possible through the thousands of hours KHP volunteers donate on an annual basis.  Annie Martin has spearheaded the program as the Kentucky Horse Park’s Volunteer and Outreach Manager since 2016.

Kentucky Horse Park Bluebird Trail

Who doesn’t love the sight of horses at the beautiful Kentucky Horse Park? But the next time you walk around the Park, look closely and you may see a flash of blue and the trill of a song. The Park has long been a haven for a variety of wildlife and bluebirds are one of the flashier ones to come your way.
