British Museum Horse Exhibition 24 May to 30 Sept - Vindex - 05-05-2012
"The horse: from Arabia to Royal Ascot"
A celebration for Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee. As its supported by the Board of Trustees of the Saudi Equestrian Fund and Juddmonte Farms (modern TB breeders) amongst others it has an accent on the Arabian horse and the influence on the modern TB race horse.
In the pre-exhibition information in the current British Museum magazine, however, there are many references to the Parthian and Sasanian influences too with some wondrous artefacts gathered from around the world as well as from the BM's collection.
Free admission to the exhibition.

There will also be a exhibition about historic cavalry in the Allard Pierson museum, Amsterdam starting next week, if I'm right.
