The American Saddlebred Museum will be celebrating the Chinese Year of the Horse at the World’s Championship Horse Show. Immediately following the evening performance on Wednesday, August 20, the Saddlebred Café in the North wing adjacent to Freedom Hall will be transformed into a Chinese wonderland, and will feature a special performance by the world-renowned Peking Acrobats.

A highlight of the evening will be a live auction at 10:30 p.m. to benefit the Museum. The four exclusive items include:
