The story
The original land was part of Bosque Bonita Farm, a name that means "beautiful woods" in Spanish and was originally owned by Abraham Buford, a Confederate Army general. The land was later bought by leading horseman, John H. Morris.
Leamington, sire of Aristides, winner of the first Kentucky Derby, stood at stud at Bosque Bonita Farm in 1866. Mannie Gray, dam of the great stallion Domino, was raised there.
In 1875, the year before the Battle of Little Big Horn, General George Custer came to Bosque Bonita Farm to buy cavalry remounts.
The farm was also home to a Springer Spaniel dog named Tug, who in 1989 mated with Millie, the famous White House dog owned by President George H. W. Bush. One of their pups, a female named Spot Fetcher, was born in the White House and later returned to live there with President George W. Bush.
The farm is currently owned and operated by the Farish family. The Farish family home, once known as Pleasant Lawn, was built in 1829.
