When is Day of the Horse?

Every year on December 13.

What is Day of the Horse?

The National Day of the Horse on December 13 was established by the US Congress in 2004 to recognise the role horses have played in American life. Horses pulled ploughs and wagons, carried settlers and soldiers, and still work on ranches today, while also starring in sport, recreation and therapy programmes. The day encourages people to visit a stable, support horse rescues and learn about caring for these animals.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
