American ≤uarter Horse

From Chicago’s cows to Cincinnati’s
pigs and New Orleans’ fish, public art
displays like Amarillo’s Hoof Prints
are a trend sweeping the nation.
Cities have built the idea around an
animal that played a pivotal role in
their history.
Hoof Prints is a community-wide
public art display celebrating the
history and the spirit of the American
≤uarter Horse. This project is made
possible with the partnership of the
Center City of Amarillo and the
American ≤uarter Horse Association. With dozens of life- size horses
around town, there is art from
local artists everywhere. Each horse
is sponsored by a local business, so
take a “Hoof Prints Tour” of the city
to see all the beautiful horses.
Hoof Prints honors the American
≤uarter Horse used on ranches surrounding Amarillo today. “America’s
Horse” can be seen at rodeo’s timed
events, working on a ranch or even
on the big screen during a Western
movie. The American ≤uarter Horse
is the world’s most versatile breed. The
world headquarters for the American
≤uarter Horse Association, the largest
equine breed association in the world,
is right here in Amarillo. Along with
the Association, Amarillo is home to
the American ≤uarter Horse Hall
of Fame & Museum, which preserves
the history of the American ≤uarter
Horse, along with honoring the people
and horses that have been most influential to the breed.
Center City of Amarillo, Inc. is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to the revitalization of
historic downtown Amarillo. Our vision
is to make downtown Amarillo a destination
neighborhood that bridges the past and focuses on
the future. While you are on your Hoof Prints
tour, take time to appreciate the
historic architecture of downtown
Amarillo and the Downtown
Dining District with more than
30 locally owned restaurants.
Center City is a Texas Main Street
City recognized by the Texas
Historical Commission and the
National Main Street Center.
