Photo Gallery: Happy National I Love Horses Day!

Did you know that July 15 is National I Love Horses Day? Neither did we until just recently. We’re not sure what the origin of this day is, or what its exact purpose is, but why pass up an excuse to profess our love of horses to the world?

We put out a call on our Facebook page, asking you to share photos with us to show why you love horses. And you responded! We received hundreds of replies within a few hours. We’ve selected a handful of images to share here on HorseChannel, but be sure to check out the Facebook page to see more great images.

Thanks for participating, everyone, and Happy I Love Horses Day!

My 7-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare has been out for the last eight weeks with a serious tendon lesion. If there’s anything I’ve been reminded of it’s that she’s much more than just my teammate in riding but also my irreplaceable best friend.

I started taking riding lessons a year and a half ago at the age of 56. I was terrified and vowed I would never trot. Well, this week I cantered almost a full circle and only holding on with one hand!! This is Emmy, a sweet Haflinger school horse I get to borrow twice a week. Love her!!

My weanling and I! I rescued her at an auction where she would have gone to slaughter, and she is the sweetest, smartest, most willing baby I’ve worked with. I can catch and lead her, load her, pick up her feet, and rub ALL over her when a month ago she was completely untouched and unhandled

I’ve known this beautiful mare since she was a few months old finally was able to buy her a couple of years ago. She is my therapist and my buddy. She is the reason I work two jobs and go without new shoes and getting my hair done for months at a time. She is my sunshine.

I love doing rescue work, and helping the nurse mare foals and other orphaned foals is what I think I do best! Here I’m feeding Baby Doll, whose mother was not able to produce milk because of her own depleted condition. Baby Doll thrives now and has been adopted to a new loving home!

This is Litli Skjóni fra Borgartúni. He’s an Icelandic horse and loves when you show him affection and love. He’ll give it back instantly.
