A major international exhibition and film entitled A Gift from the Desert: The Art, History and Culture of the Arabian Horse will be presented by the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, Kentucky, the United States. The exhibition will be produced and held in the museum during the summer and fall of 2010 in conjunction with the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

She is noted for her eight highly acclaimed productions on Saudi Arabia and the Near East, all of which appeared in prime-time broadcasts on the Public Broadcasting Service.

Based on attendance figures from the museum’s previous two international exhibitions, and the additional guests expected to attend the Kentucky Horse Park’s Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010, ‘A Gift from the Desert’ is anticipated to attract approximately 300,000 visitors while the film will be broadcast in primetime worldwide and subsequently released internationally on DVD.
