Did you know that the quarter horse got its name because it runs a faster quarter-mile than all other horses? This museum celebrates quarter horses with a hall of fame, exhibits, theater, paintings, and live demonstrations of feeding and saddling during summer camp. (And in case you're wondering just how fast quarter horses run, they can do 50 mph or more for short distances.)

Dedicated to the history of the equine breed named for its speed when racing a quarter-mile, this facility offers a comprehensive look at the animals and the culture surrounding them. Slickly renovated and expanded in 2007, the museum is geared toward horse lovers and kids -- who will no doubt be delighted by the interactive exhibits and a fiberglass quarter horse replica you can climb aboard....

As a tribute to the inductees of the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, the Grand Hall is truly a reverent place to learn and appreciate the individuals that have shaped the American Quarter horse breed.
