National I Love Horses Day celebrates the role of horses in American life

America’s affinity with horses dates back to the days of the pioneers. Whether for transportation, 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.
