Yeehaw!
If You Don’t Own a Horse
- Donate money or supplies to a reputable non-profit horse rescue organization.
- Volunteer your time at a horse-related nonprofit. Consider therapeutic riding schools as well as rescues.
- Watch a horse movie.
- Wear a clothing item or piece of jewelry that shows you’re a horse person.
- Use #NationalDayoftheHorse to post on social media.
If You Have a Horse
- Take a trail ride or go for a hack with a horse.
- Give your horse an extended grooming session.
- Update your horse’s halter, and add a name plate.
- Buy your horse a fancy bridle brow band.
If you own a horse, share them with someone who’s otherwise doesn’t have access to equids. Horses and rural life are becoming more and more of a luxury, and casual encounters with them happen less frequently than in recent history. By inviting non-horse-people to meet your animals, you’ll give them an opportunity they probably don’t have otherwise. Who knows you might just change someone’s life.
