"A very positive experience and hope I can do more of them"
"The Friday night dinner was a great way to meet other owners. The Phoenix Room experience was 1st class all the way on Saturday. The Stallion Tour on Sunday was beyond expectations. Getting private tours with family members of barns was very informative. "
