I love trail riding, but there's one thing you'll never catch me doing on horseback: drinking. As it turns out, Kentucky and Indiana have laws that could get you into trouble for riding a horse while intoxicated. And yes, you read that right!

Kentucky’s Department of Corrections will not extend its long-running contract with its embattled prison healthcare provider in the new year, according to officials with the health care company. Wellpath, the state’s current prison healthcare provider, said in a statement it would no longer be serving Kentucky’s prison population after January 2027. The company has provided healthcare for Kentucky prisons for more than a decade, but has faced financial troubles in recent years and has had to settle lawsuits over inmate deaths. “Our contract is projected to expire between January 12 and the 26 of 2027, and Wellpath will no longer provide healthcare services to the Department after that date,” said Skip Thurman, a spokesperson for Wellpath. “This kind of change is common in our industry. When a contract comes to an end, the Commonwealth issues a Request for Proposals, and this time around the new contract went to another provider.” Kentucky has contracted with Wellpath , formerly named Correct Care Solutions, since 2014. Despite the company’s former financial trouble the state re-upped its contract and is paying Wellpath $60 million this year to provide healthcare to Kentucky inmates and insure prisons against healthcare-related lawsuits. The Department of Corrections told the

A Virginia couple who celebrated their 2025 engagement at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles have filed a potential class-action lawsuit over allegations that cameras may have been hidden on the property by bourbon entrepreneur Wes Henderson . Henderson had been CEO of the Kentucky Castle’s parent company, TKC Hospitality Group, and its partner, TKC Distilling, until he was abruptly fired in October . Henderson, who apparently retains an ownership stake in the company, was fired after the Herald-Leader reported that family members have accused him in a sealed lawsuit of secretly filming them and others in private moments, including at the Kentucky Castle. Henderson has denied the allegations in a statement through an attorney and no criminal charges have been filed. Homeland Security has confirmed that it is investigating . No response to the lawsuit, which was filed Nov. 12, has been filed. Attorneys for Henderson and for the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment. But in a statement issued Thursday afternoon through a public relations agency that represents Henderson, The Kentucky Castle and TKC Hospitality, TKC Hospitality said it “unequivocally rejects the allegations suggesting that guests were secretly recorded while staying at our property.” TKC Hospitality

Somewhere in the Kentucky woods, an old coal camp still has its store, school, and homes. The catch?. They’re built from open metal frames, so you can look straight through the walls. I love that idea so much. The real town emptied out decades ago, and those see-through outlines...

There is a smarter move, and Kentucky makes it easy. Consignment shops across the state are packed with designer labels that someone else already paid full price for.

Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before freshman Emily McDonald made an splash for the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team . They might not have known what would happen on Wednesday night in game four of the season, though, when she would set a record, and lead her team to a 98-30 rout of Evansville. McDonald didn't check into the game until late in the first quarter, but she immediately hit her first three-pointer. By night's end, she had made nine shots from behind the arc, a new team record, and scored a team-leading 27 points. Though McDonald was the story, she wasn't the only Wildcat to excel. Me'Arah O'Neal also had a big game, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, and recording 18 points and 8 rebounds. Ajsa Sivka added 12 points. Clara Strack had 11 points and 3 blocks. This was a game against an less talented team that Kentucky was supposed to win, so it was more about finding a rhythm, and gaining valuable experience together. For McDonald, it was a breakout party, and the first of what will likely be many big games. This article originally appeared on UK Wildcats Wire: Kentucky WBB
A ham cured in Kentucky now sits in a ham museum in Spain. Yes, a ham museum. Spain takes its cured pork very seriously, so that honor still makes me grin. That museum spot isn’t a fluke, either. Kentucky families have been salting, smoking, and patiently aging hams for generations.
