Interesting fact... Ever wonder why Lexington, KY is the Horse Capital of the World? It wasn't because of coincidence... The Bluegrass region surrounding Lexington is one of the rarest ecosystems in the country, something called a woodland pasture. Almost half a billion years ago, trilobites, brachiopods, corals, clams and snails lived in an inland sea that inundated what is now Fayette County, KY, and the city of Lexington. As these creatures died and drifted to the seafloor, calcium in their shells formed a limestone layer up to 320 feet thick. As the sea drew away and the land lifted, water began percolating through the soil and limestone, which leached out calcium, a vital ingredient for both plants and animals. Lush grass together with shade from the trees proved a winning combination for livestock. The calcium-rich grass and undulating hills enables horses to build strong leg bones. This is the real reason why Lexington is the Horse Capital of the World!
