For more than 50 years this tax-exempt foundation has been quietly
seeking to meet the unmet needs of the Arabian horse community.
Current Projects include:
"The Arabian Horse - The Ancient Breed"
This one hour movie for television was broadcast on Public Broadcasting
TV stations to more than 90% of the United Sates during 2008. It will
continue to be in the PBS catalog and will continue to be shown from time
to time. We are now able to release DVD copies for sale to the public for
$25.00. The movie follows the Arabian horse at all AHA competitions, trail
rides, therapeutic riding programs, the Tevis Cup, ranch work and personal
stories. This is a testimony to the versatility and wonder of the Arabian horse
and owners.

The Arabian Galleries at the International Museum of the Horse
After many years of work and planning, the AHOF Collection will again be
revealed in an 8,000 square foot addition to the International Museum of the
Horse - The Kentucky Horse Park near Lexington, Kentucky. Interior design
work is in progress and completion is expected in late 2009. Exhibits will
include the AHOF Collection and the collection of the Arabian Horse Trust.
The building has been funded by the Purebred Arabian Trust from the sale
of the prior museum facility in Denver.
There is an ongoing search for funds to complete the interior exhibition space.
