South Louisiana has a long, storied equine history, from Cajun cowboys to Mamou Mardi Gras revelers to a certain Kentucky Derby champion with one beautiful accent. Director Conni Castille explores that history in a "T-Galop: A Louisiana Horse Story," Castille’s film traces the history of Louisiana’s equine connections from the colonial period to the present day, paying special attention to traditions surrounding horses in the Cajun and Creole cultures. The program is FREE and open to the public. The program is part of our “Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America” exhibit programming. The exhibit captures the stories that unfold on the neighborhood fields and courts, and the underdog heroics, larger-than-life legends, fierce rivalries and gut-wrenching defeats. “Hometown Teams” is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.
