Appaloosa Museum Events 2010

Picnic with the Appaloosas & Take in a Movie
~ July 12-31
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning July 13 on Tuesdays bring a picnic lunch to have outside & visit with 'Sweetie' the Appaloosa in our Live Exhibit or take in a game of horseshoes. Afterwards, at 1 PM come in and enjoy a free showing of the 1966 classic Disney film, Run, Appaloosa, Run,.

In this movie, Mary Blackfeather, an Indian girl, and her horse Sky Dancer, participate in the wildest, roughest horse race in America. The excitement begins when Mary rescues the Appaloosa colt from a mountain lion, but the problems begin when she is forced to sell the horse at auction. Sky Dancer must pass from one unworthy owner to another before he and Mary are reunited. The movie runs approximately 50 minutes and admission is free, but donations are always appreciated. For more information contact the Appaloosa Museum at (208) 882-5578 ext. 279 or museum@appaloosa.com.

The Apalousey All-Breed Trail Ride and Dutch Oven Dinner has been an annual event for the past twelve years & is dedicated to raising funds for improving museum facilities & exhibits. This event is held at the beautiful Pony Club Grounds on George Hatley's ranch near Deary, Idaho.  The grounds is one of the most beautiful, privately owned horse oriented campgrounds you will ever see.  The trail ride goes through timberland and across open prairies where the Appaloosa horse was developed by the Nez Perce and Palouse Indians.
