Presidents and Their Horses
June 5 - September 7

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 will combine text, art, photos and artifacts to tell the story of our nation's leaders, and their equestrian involvement
