Horses

Kentucky is the horse capital of the world, and Nicura Ranch is the place to stay for horse lovers. Our retired horses are stunningly beautiful; each with a unique personality. We invite guests to learn about their pasts as well as their injuries, rehabilitations and adoptions.

We are proud to give these horses the best life possible after the track. A large portion of each reservation supports our horses and animals.

Thank you, Nick and Laura, for such a warm welcome and all your help! We enjoyed our short stay, your beautiful farm, and all your welcoming animals. The views are beautiful and so peaceful, and the muffins are the best! :-) Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable — thank you, guys!

Nicura Ranch is the perfect getaway if you want to have a unique experience right in the heart of Kentucky. The hospitality from Laura are amazing and the interaction with all of their 4 legged friends is amazing. You are also minutes away from the beautiful town of Berea and all of its wonderful restaurants and unique shops full of artisan products. Also close to Richmond and all of its many attractions. It’s like a few days in paradise away from the norm. You will want to return often if you are close enough to do that. It’s a family favorite for us.

My husband and I just left this past Sunday. What an amazing place! It's very warm & inviting. And, I fell in love w/ the horses, ESPECIALLY, Beans! We even got to groom the horses! Such of a one of a kind experience that I will never forget. This may be a yearly get away for us🙂 Thank you Laura & Nick for allowing us to step into your lives & enjoy the slower pace farm life. We enjoyed getting up close & personal w/ our farm friends & loving on them. My heart is in Ky, @ your ranch❤️🥲
