[HPFGU-Movie] SS/PS Chess set

[artsylynda at aol.com]

Thought y'all would like to know:  the 12th century chess set used as the 
model for the big Wizard Chess set in SS/PS is on display as part of a show 
called "All the Queen's Horses" at the Kentucky Horse Park: The Role of the 
Horse in British History" running through August 24.  The Kentucky Horse Park 
is located just north of Lexington, on I-75, exit 119.  It's well worth a 
visit anyway -- hundreds of acres of rolling bluegrass pastures, 
representative horses from many of the breeds of the world, beautiful antique 
barns, carriage rides, horse rides, The Museum of the Horse, all kinds of 
wonderful stuff. But that chess set in the movie totally amazed me (sculptor 
that I am) and I'm going to make a trip down there to see the original.  
Thought y'all would like to know about it.  Do a search online for the 
Kentucky Horse Park, there's probably more information on their site (I saw 
an article in the newspaper about it).
