Renovations to the original museum, which closed on February 1, 2006 to begin construction, include a 20 percent increase in space. The Grand Hall, which presents Hall of Fame inductees, will feature a commanding AQHA medallion, 13-feet in diameter and sculpted from 1400 pounds of clay, as well as an immense American Quarter Horse Association foundation bloodline chart etched into the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Additional floor space in the Grand Hall is devoted to a timeline exhibit of Hall of Fame inductees, with personal artifacts and memorabilia from each, including horses, owners, breeders and riders.The three-tiered timeline gives historical context to Hall of Fame inductees&#8217; achievements by presenting world history events, AQHA milestones, and breed milestones simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The special Champions Gallery will showcase AQHA world champions through an interactive, searchable database. Six interactive multi-media stations, along with two family-size mini-theaters, will also provide, through a searchable film database, an in-depth look into the history of the American Quarter Horse, as well as Hall of Fame inductees.<\/p>\n<p>The Joni Hegel Education Gallery will provide information about general horse care, as well as about activities and careers related to the American Quarter Horse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum will celebrate a &#8220;grand re-opening&#8221; on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-horse-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
