The farm is located near Versailles, Kentucky,[1] and covers a total of 360 acres.[2] The name Belle Reve comes from a translation of the words "beautiful dream" in French.[3] In 1993, the colt barn at the farm caught fire and five horses were killed.[4] Belle Reve is part of a therapeutic riding program that benefits Horses for Heroes.[5]
