Lexington's South Hill District

The South Hill District is right in downtown Lexington.  The neighborhood is an interesting mix of styles built over a hundred year period.  The oldest house in Lexington is the Adam Rankin house, built in 1784 for the minister of the Presbyterian Church.

The Adam Rankin House

All of the following houses were on the same street, and some were side-by-side.

 I liked the quirky mix.  Most of the houses were built right up to the road.  Well, more likely, the road was widened right up to the houses.  I liked the tree roots too.

There was lots to see,

lots to eat ($$$$$),

and lots to buy.

Need a custom top hat, anyone?

I'm sure that Lilly at http://rlilbitofcash.blogspot.com/ needs this halter.

David found a nice big tractor,

and I found a nice big horse.

David was a star on a mechanical cutting horse.  It speeds down a track,

spinning around as it cuts a mechanical cow on a parallel track.

Look at that seat!

If I wasn't lame in the right front, I would have loved to ride the mechanical dressage horse.

This horse is loaded with sensors that analyze your aids.

You can ride any movement.

Here Jane Savoie makes some position corrections.

How cool!

No vet bills!

Hmmm.
