The American Saddlebred Museum, located on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, will be highlighting the special bond between children and Saddlebreds in its 2008 exhibition entitled For the Love of a Horse: Children and Saddlebreds.



Though the Saddlebred has long been known as the ultimate show horse and is often referred to as "Peacock of the Show Ring," this exhibit focuses on activities beyond that scope. Originally bred for versatility and an even temperament, those two attributes of the Saddlebred are readily on display throughout the Museum. Artwork, memorabilia, film footage and many photos are used to attest to the bond of love between scores of Saddlebreds and children of all ages. Visitors can expect to experience both laughter and tears as the images are sure to tug at heartstrings.

The exhibit opens February 15, 2008 and will run through December 30, 2008.Information about the exhibition and ticketing can be obtained by calling the Museum at 859-259-2746 or by e-mailing museum@asbmuseum.org. Ticket purchase includes admission to the Kentucky Horse Park. Group reservations and pricing available upon request.
