KENTUCKY HORSE PARK
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY
What's New! NEW! AAA Vacation Packages This Week . . . August 19 - 23 PRESIDENTS AND THEIR HORSES The horse was a vital force in transportation, commerce, communications and war from Colonial America to the advent of the internal combustion engine. Given its importance, it is hardly surprising that many of our nation's leaders were not only excellent horsemen, but often intimately involved in varying aspects of equestrian pursuits. Even into the 20th century, strong equestrian bonds existed between many of our Chief Executives; from the wild west and military exploits of Teddy Roosevelt, to Ronald Reagan's long film career and later love of a long ride on a good horse. Presidents and Their Horses combines text, art, photos and artifacts to tell the story of our nation's leaders, and their equestrian involvement. AUGUST 21, 1998 - AUGUST 22, 1999 "THE SOUL OF THE HORSE" Photos by Peter Thomann Award winning German photographer, Peter Thomann has assembled a wonderful cross-section of stunning black and white images which seem to capture the essence of the horse. Shot throughout the world, the exhibition features a variety of breeds and equestrian activities. Located in the Visitor Information Center Gallery. 9:00am - 5:00pm Contact: Bill Cooke (606) 259-4231 |
