Day of the Horse promotes ethical treatment of horses
In 2004 Congress decided that December 14 would be
National Day of the Horse. This special day dedicated to our regal animal
friends encourages people “to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the
economy, history, and character of the United States” as was stated in a resolution by Congress.
"Without horses, the economy, history, and character of the United States would be profoundly different. Whereas horses continue to permeate the society of the United States, as witnessed on movie screens, on open land, and in our own backyards," the resolution reads.
