Amarillo and the Downtown of the American ≤uarter Horse

2
From Chicago’s cows to Cincinnati’s pigs and New Orleans’ fish, public art displays like Amarillo’s Hoof Prints are a trend sweeping the nation. Cities have built the idea around an animal that played a pivotal role in their history. Hoof Prints is a community-wide public art display celebrating the history and the spirit of the American ≤uarter Horse. This project is made possible with the partnership of the Center City of Amarillo and the American ≤uarter Horse Associa- tion. With dozens of life- size horses around town, there is art from local artists everywhere. Each horse is sponsored by a local business, so take a “Hoof Prints Tour” of the city to see all the beautiful horses. Hoof Prints honors the American ≤uarter Horse used on ranches sur- rounding Amarillo today. “America’s Horse” can be seen at rodeo’s timed events, working on a ranch or even on the big screen during a Western movie. The American ≤uarter Horse is the world’s most versatile breed. The world headquarters for the American ≤uarter Horse Association, the largest equine breed association in the world, is right here in Amarillo. Along with the Association, Amarillo is home to the American ≤uarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, which preserves the history of the American ≤uarter Horse, along with honoring the people and horses that have been most influ- ential to the breed. Hoof Prints’ title sponsor is The American Quarter Horse Association; it is a project of Center City of Amarillo. “Nay-boring Vistas” Location: 900 S.

From Chicago’s cows to Cincinnati ’s pigs and New Orleans’ fish, public art displays like Amarillo’s Hoof Prints are a trend sweeping the nation. Cities have built the idea around an animal that played a pivotal role in their history.

Hoof Prints is a community-wide public art display celebrating the history and the spirit of the American ≤uarter Horse. This project is made possible with the partnership of the Center City of Amarillo and the American ≤uarter Horse Associa-tion. With dozens of life- size horses around town, there is art from local artists everywhere. Each horse is sponsored by a local business, so take a “Hoof Prints Tour” of the city to see all the beautiful horses.

Hoof Prints honors the American ≤uarter Horse used on ranches sur-rounding Amarillo today. “America’s Horse” can be seen at rodeo’s timed events, working on a ranch or even on the big screen during a Western movie. The American ≤uarter Horse is the world’s most versatile breed. The world headquarters for the American ≤uarter Horse Association, the largest equine breed association in the world, is right here in Amarillo. Along with the Association, Amarillo is home to the American ≤uarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, which preserves the history of the American ≤uarter Horse, along with honoring the people and horses that have been most influ-ential to the breed.

Hoof Prints’ title sponsor is The American Quarter Horse Association; it is a project of Center City of Amarillo.

After making the Hoof Prints tour, take time to stop at the American ≤uarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum to learn more about the breed that inspired the display. The American ≤uarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum’s spectacular facility is designed to showcase the stars

of the American ≤uarter Horse world – those people and horses who have earned their place as legends.

From the moment you approach and pass by the larger-than-life bronzes and the Wall of Honor Plaza, you’ll know immediately you’re about to walk where these legends once did. The Museum boasts a variety of historical informa-tion and exhibits designed to educate, preserve and inspire equine enthusiasts from across the globe. The museum has something for visitors of all ages: the Grand Hall pays tribute to members of the American ≤uarter Horse Hall of Fame; the Hegel Stables education gallery, where children can learn and play; the Kenneth Banks theatre, home to a collection of original oil paintings by Oklahoma artist Orren Mixer; the Champions Gallery, with a state-of-the-art digital video system showing film footage of past champions; and

the historical timeline, featuring Hall of Fame inductee artifacts within the era in which they made their contribution to the breed or A≤HA history.
