===Museums and art collections===
The [[American Quarter Horse Association]] (AQHA) is an international organization dedicated to the preservation, improvement and record-keeping of the [[American Quarter Horse]] breed. The organization is headquartered in Amarillo and has a museum. There is also an [[American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame]] exhibited in the museum. In addition, the AQHA and Center City of Amarillo co-sponsors the project, "Hoof Prints of the American Quarter Horse" which consist of horse statues located in front of several Amarillo businesses, such as the downtown Amarillo National building, Nationwide Insurance, and Edward Jones. An area business would purchase a horse statue and a local artist paints on it.<ref>{{cite news |author=Welch, Kevin |title=Horses of many colors |date=November 16, 2003 |work=Amarillo Globe-News |url=http://amarillo.com/stories/111603/new_horses.shtml|access-date= January 25, 2007}}</ref>
