Hatch, Co-Sponsor & Chairman Judiciary; Jack Kingston, Day of the Horse Sponsor; and Mary Landrieu, Day of the Horse Co-Sponsor.
There are many ways to celebrate National Day of the Horse on December 13 and everyday—from advocating for horses with national organizations and being mindful of the character and contribution that horses have made to the U. S. for more than 500 years to donating to a horse rescue or to a horse sanctuary or posting photos on social media using the hashtags #NationalDayoftheHorse and #DayoftheHorse. You can also read a good horse book or watching a classic horse movie, or write notes to U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives thanking them for their support of horses.
