America’s affinity with horses dates back to the days of the pioneers. Whether for transportation,Safetyvalue industry, agriculture, battle, sport, therapy or just for the pleasure of ownership, horses have played a significant role in American culture. That’s why, each year on July 15th,  we’re encouraged to pay homage to the horse on National I Love Horses Day.

Though the origins of this special day are uncertain, the occasion is dedicated to honoring the bond between humans and horses. So, whether you're an experienced equestrian, a horse owner, or just a horse lover, you’re invited to show your appreciation for these magnificent animals by visiting a ranch or stable, volunteering at a horse rescue center, posting horse-related content on social media, or simply spending time with your horse, if you have one.

Horses hold a special place in America’s past, present, and future, and today is their day to be celebrated.
