America's Horse in Art Show & Sale

The America’s Horse in Art Show & Sale is a fundraiser for the American Quarter Horse Foundation. A portion of the proceeds benefits the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum. The Hall of Fame preserves history and the American Quarter Horse and develops a variety of educational and outreach programs to enrich the lives of members and the Panhandle community.

This exhibition is an invitation only art show focusing on traditional western art and sculpture showcasing the American Quarter Horse.
