The Equine Research Hall of Fame, established by the University of Kentucky Equine Research Foundation (now the UK Gluck Equine Research Foundation), honors those distinguished researchers who have dedicated their careers to equine science. The Hall of Fame is at the Gluck Center.

On Dec. 1, 1990, 12 scientists became the first inductees into this prestigious hall. Inductees are selected for the honor by an international scientific committee that evaluates the achievements and contributions of eminent researchers who were nominated by their peers and colleagues. The inductees, active, retired or deceased, are individuals from throughout the world who have expanded the body of knowledge of equine science through their contributions to basic or applied research.

The Equine Research Hall of Fame provides a lasting tribute to the most renowned equine researchers in a variety of disciplines and serves as an international forum for honoring outstanding achievements in equine research.
