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.
