Driving around Lexington in search of horses probably isn't everyone's idea of a fun Saturday night activity, but that's what Alec and I did. We started first with a horse we had missed before on Vine Street, maybe because it's dark in color (although it is wired to generate its own light inside) and raised up off street level.

This horse was in the Woodward Heights neighborhood:

| It's Rocking Lexington |
One of my very favorites ... this horse looks good enough to eat, and it's appropriately situated across from Wine + Market, where they sell arguably the best baguettes in town.

| Lady Godiva's Horse |
But, so far, I think this one is my all-round favorite because the colors are just beautiful. And, it's in front of one of my favorite restaurants, Jonathan's at Gratz Park Inn ... which would make a great excuse to eat out there more often :)

And I like the way the horse seems to be peeking out as you're walking down the street!
This horse is at Sayre School:

| Kentucky in Black and White |
We had to hunt around for these two horses, which are located at the "Isaac Murphy Memorial Garden" ... basically just a field in an "up and coming" (but right now, a bit sketchy) neighborhood near downtown. The garden has a big sign saying that it's going to be an "art garden" ... I guess the horses are the first temporary exhibits.

I was surprised to find this horse in front of the Walton Avenue office of our former kitchen designer.

And this horse is in front of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. In 2000, the "Mirrored Horse," one of the kids' favorites, was placed here:

| These Colors Run |
And, finally, I took advantage of the relatively little traffic to cross Richmond Road to photograph this horse:

| Old Lexington |
So ... that leaves only eleven horses left on our quest!
