Lane's End Farm is a Thoroughbred horse breeding farm in Versailles, Kentucky established in 1979. The original land was part of Bosque Bonita Farm which means beautiful woods 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.

In 1875, General George Custer came to Bosque Bonita Farm to buy cavalry remounts before the Battle of Little Big Horn.

The farm is owned by the Farish family.

The farm has been home to a number of famous horses including 1987 Belmont Stakes winner Bet Twice, 1999 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Charismatic, 1999 Belmont Stakes winner Lemon Drop Kid, Law Society, 1992 Belmont Stakes winner A. P. Indy, 1990 Preakness Stakes winner Summer Squall, 2003 Canadian Triple Crown winner Wando, and 2006 U.S. Champion 3-Yr-Old Filly Wait A While.
