White House Horses

A new exhibit, White House Horses, organized by the White House Historical
Association and the White House Curator's Office in cooperation with the
National Park Service, looks at the many ways in which horses have been a
part of the history of the White House. The exhibit, on display at the
White House Visitor Center, 1450 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, D.C.,
through September 26, 2005, is open daily from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm and is
free to the public.

For information: (202) 208-1631. "Throughout history American presidents
have appreciated the contributions of horses as workers and as participants
in bringing about a better quality of life at the White House. Before
automobiles, the presidents, their families and staff depended on the horse
for transportation, communication and enjoyment. Beginning with George
Washington, many presidents have enjoyed the impressive beauty and skills of
these uncomplaining public servants for work, sport and leisure," said Neil
W. Horstman, president of the White House Historical Association. The nine
panel exhibit incorporates 27 historic and contemporary images covering
topics from George Washington's sense of pride and sentiment in his horses
to Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson's love of the Sport of Kings to
Theodore Roosevelt's "rules governing the conduct of guests riding with the
president," to modern day presidents and first ladies seeking relaxation and
enjoyment with the aid of their equine friends. Panels include: Executive
Stables; The Theodore Roosevelt Family; Presidents at the Races; Carriages
of the Presidents; Presidents on Horseback; Working Horses at the White
House; The Ceremonial Role of Horses and Equestrian Sports and Leisure
Pursuits.

On July 21, 2005 Western Watersheds Project (WWP), a western regional conservation group based in Hailey, Idaho, filed a lawsuit in federal District Court for the District of Idaho seeking to block implementation of proposed new grazing regulations for 160,000,000 acres of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The lawsuit was assigned to Chief Judge B. Lynn Winmill. The litigation includes a request for injunctive relief that, if granted, will prevent the new regulations from going into effect pending the outcome of the lawsuit.
