Hoofbeats and Heartbeats: The Horse in American
Art
If you are
attending the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, don't miss
"Hoofbeats and Heartbeats: The Horse in American Art."
The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky
will present a groundbreaking exhibition to coincide with the
Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010. Hoofbeats and
Heartbeats is the first significant exhibition to critically
examine the role of the horse in American art, history, and
culture. Over 40 paintings and sculptures will be brought
together from museums across the country.
The goal of the exhibition is to engage visitors
with the important role that the horse has played in the visual
and cultural dialogue of America from the Revolutionary period to
present day.
Horses have played a crucial role in building
the United States. They have carried generals into battle, forged
the trail of westward expansion, wrangled for cowboys, and
sprinted for jockeys in front of cheering fans. Horses have
become a meaningful part of the American cultural identity,
symbolizing heroism, wildness, hard work, and prosperity. In art,
the image of the horse reflects many larger political, cultural,
and philosophical concerns of American society. This exhibition
seeks to survey both the image of the horse in American art and
how it reflects aspects of the nation's development.

Friends
of Sound Horses Website Lists 8,700 violators of Horse Protection
Act
Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) announced the
unveiling of a web site listing over 8,700 Horse Protection Act
violators who have received suspensions from 1986 to the
present. The Horse
Protection Act (HPA) is the Federal law that makes it illegal to
"sore" Tennessee Walking Horses and other gaited
breeds. Soring is the
abusive practice of creating pain with chemical or mechanical
means on the front legs and hooves to exaggerate and create an
artificial gait for the show ring.
Access to these records is critical to protect
horses. Individuals
selecting a professional trainer for their gaited horse can
research the trainer's violation history. A buyer can verify the seller's
reputation for soring.
Horse rescues that are placing horses with new adoptees
can verify their HPA history before placing the horse. Show management and enforcement
officials can familiarize themselves with names of repeat
violators, which are listed in one of the search options. The site also provides current
data, such as suspension proportions by state, and by violation
type.
FOSH is providing the information as a resource for
persons who are active, or wish to become active, in owning,
breeding and/or showing Tennessee Walking Horses, Racking Horses
and Spotted Saddle Horses, the principle breeds subject to
regulation under the Horse Protection Act. Users have free access to the
information after registering at http://www.hpadata.us.

Ending
Thoughts -Discouragement
It really doesn't matter what
the challenge is. You can get knocked down in any area of your
life as you pursue your goals. But getting knocked down doesn't
matter. You never truly fail unless you quit. And if you're
resilient, you'll be able to bounce back after disappointment and
stay in the game. "It's Not Just About the Ribbons"
