Claiborne Farm is located just outside Paris, Kentucky, USA, and is one of the most famous thoroughbred horse farms in the United states. The farm was founded by Arthur B. Hancock, owner of Ellersbie Farm in Albemarle County Virginia and has been run by his family since its founding in c. 1911:
- Arthur B. Hancock (1875-1957)
- Arthur B. "Bull " Hancock, Jr. (1910-1972)
- Seth W. Hancock (b. 1949)
Arthur B. Hancock III (b. 1943) owns Stone Farm, a breeding operation near Paris, Kentucky.
Claiborne Farm has been visited twice by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
The farm was home to all the horses owned by the Phipps family.
Secretariat was syndicated by Seth Hancock for breeding purposes and stood at stud at Claiborne Farm at the conclusion of his racing career at the end of 1973 until his death in 1989.
Claiborne Farm won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder in 1979 and again in 1984.
