More Than Just a Horse Show Last year, WIHS partnered with the Smith-
sonian’s National Museum of the Native American, which opened an exhibit called “Horse Nation” during WIHS. T is year, WIHS is keep- ing the cultural connections fl owing through partnerships with both T e Kennedy Center and Corcoran Gal- lery of Art. Opening at T e Kennedy Center the same night as WIHS’s opening night is the Tony Award-winning play, War Horse. T e play, which won fi ve Tony Awards, including Best Play, uses life- sized puppets to bring to life Michael Morpurgo’s novel. Last year at WIHS, specta- tors were some of the fi rst people in the coun- try to see the trailer for the Dreamworks movie based on the same book. Details are still being sorted out, but the partnership between WIHS and T e Kennedy
Center will include some sort of ticket trade. T ere is also a possibility that the puppet Joey will make an appearance at WIHS. At the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Charlotte
