AQHA Museum

With time to kill, we headed over to see the American Quarter Horse Association Museum.


We were not expecting much, but it was a way to kill an hour before dinner.   It was about what you would expect.  There were some exhibits talking about the lineage of quarter horses vs. thoroughbreds.  There were some exhibits on how much they eat (20-25 lbs.).  And lastly, there was also an art exhibit with some paintings, drawings, and bronze sculptures. That was a nice touch. 

Because of that alone, I would recommend stopping by, but what I didn't expect were the many exhibits about people that bred the horses.  It was almost as if some Texas ranchers decided they needed to have the largest "I love me wall" in the world.  There were so many trophies, Lisa started to have a contest to decide which one was most like the Goblet of Fire.  That was when we could tell it was time to wrap it up and head over to Rudy's and enjoy some Texas BBQ.
