About the Hubbard Museum

"Rite of Passage" by Sandy Scott - 1991

The Hubbard Museum of the American West was presented to the City of Ruidoso Downs in 2005 by R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard. It has grown from its original incredible collection of Anne C. Stradling’s “Museum of the Horse” to being a truly first class historic Western museum. The famous Stradling collection includes bits, spurs, bridles and saddles from around the world, and an amazing collection of carriages, wagons and horse drawn vehicles spanning hundreds of years.

In 2000, The Hubbard Museum became the first New Mexico Museum accepted into the Smithsonian Affiliate Program. Members at the $100 level or higher enjoy reciprocal membership benefits with the Smithsonian Institution.
