The American Horse Council (AHC) invites the equine community to celebrate “National Meet a Horse Day” on Saturday July 17, 2021.

“Part of the AHC’s work is to introduce people to horses and increase accessibility not only to horses, but the horse industry as a whole,” said AHC President Julie Broadway. “Summer is a great time for families to connect with their local stables, and plan to add horse activities to their schedules.”

To help share the joy of horses with others, the AHC encourages those in the industry to consider hosting an open barn or events invite the general public to meet and get to know the wonder and beauty of horses.

Post your event and use the hashtag #MeetAHorse on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to be featured on the AHC’s social media pages!

As the national association representing all segments of the horse industry in Washington, D.C., the American Horse Council works daily to represent equine interests and opportunities. If you have any questions, please contact the AHC at info@horsecouncil.org.
