About the Owner
Claiborne Farm and Adele B. Dilschneider
In the heart of Kentucky horse country, among the rolling fields of bluegrass, limestone rich soil, and miles of plank board fences, lies an acreage of land steeped in tradition. For more than a century — from one generation to the next — the hallowed ground of Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky, has stood the test of time. From world-class stallions, to breed-shaping broodmares, to legends of the turf ... few farms can match the majesty, the history, and the storybook success of Claiborne Farm.
