You're Invited to Celebrate the Opening of the Museum's 2013 Exhibit!

The Museum’s 2013 special exhibit is sure to entertain and interest industry members and the general public. Entitled The Art of Selling with Saddlebreds: The Show Horse in Vintage Advertising, it will feature images of our breed on products, printed advertising and corporate collectibles dating from the late 1800’s through the 1970’s.

An Opening Reception will be held on Friday February 15th at 6:30 p.m. in conjunction with ASHA’s Annual Convention. The event will be “Kentucky Proud” inspired. The star of the evening will, of course, be Kentucky’s native breed of horse, but will also feature ambiance provided by Longwood Antique Woods and a complimentary premium bourbon tasting by Four Roses Distillery.

From cigarettes and tobacco to liquor, motor oil, hotels, fruits and vegetables, automobiles, jewelry stores and more, the Saddlebred has been used in advertising through the years to denote the highest quality. The 2013 exhibit assembles the largest collection of these items to ever have been displayed together. This unique exhibit offers a glimpse of yesteryear and the esteem the Saddlebred held in society and the marketplace.
