I agree with this comment left by a previous reader.
I’ll believe in the existence of a National Day of the Horse when the US bans transport to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. When all the meat auctions are closed, and the kill buyers gainfully employed in real jobs. And the mustangs safe on the wild ranges, not harassed and tortured by BLM contractors. Until then, the National Day of the Horse is just a fuzzy feel good idea.

OMG – This is sooo unbelievable. I never realized there was a ‘Day of the Horse’. It is truly amazing because when I got married, I told my intended that: ‘Horses come 1st, then you’, with the disclaimer that if he didn’t like it..then he shouldn’t marry me! Well, guess what are wedding anniversary is? December 14th..I can’t wait to send him this link..This IS Priceless! Thank you for posting..you’ve made my whole next 2 weeks!

I love the idea of Day of the Horse. I also agree with “Kay” that having it during a warmer season would allow more opportunities for advocates to celebrate it. I live in Kansas, and December is not a friendly time to plan horse events.

The horse is an important part of our history, I believe some have forgotten what the Horse represents. They are the back bone of our Country. They was our only means of transportation, they plowed our fields to food on our families tables and fought in the war of battle. Tomorrow is my
B-Day and will be @ the Barn with my Horse Celebrating his life! The best gift I could ever have.

Could the date be changed to something in another season so there could be actual activities scheduled? In December the weather is too cold to do outside activities and many of us don’t have indoor arenas. We can’t count on roads being good to trailer horses and could have snowstorms, icy roads, and below zero temperatures. I love the idea of a national horse day and think we’d get more response if we could have actual activities with horses and let interested members of the public attend. Create interest in horses for everyone. Decdember is also a busy month with a lot of holiday stuff to do and attend and most people will have so much going on they won’t participate in horse day activities. Just too busy a time in December as well as too cold in the winter. Another date would be much better! Thanks.

Why not make it international day of the horse? I live in Canada and would love to make it a celebration here also.
