These are truely remarkable times at the International Museum of the Horse. Last February, I was invited to meet with Saudi Arabian officials in Riyadh to discuss sponsorship of a major new international exhibition to coincide with the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestian Games. Shortly after my return, we were notified that or efforts were successful, and that the Saudi Arabian Equestrian Federation would become the presenting sponsor.
The exhibition, A Gift from the Desert: The Art, History and Culture of the Arabian Horse, will trace the history of the horse and its impact upon humans in the Near East. This will be the third "blockbuster" level exhibition that the museum has produced this decade, and certainly has to potential to be the most significant.
Keep watching this space for more information on the exhibition as we begin to discuss loans withsome of the leading museums in the world.
