Celebrate National Horse Day Saturday

Each year, the first Saturday of June is marked as Canada’s National Horse Day. This year, it will take place on Saturday, June 1. National Horse Day is an initiative put on by Equestrian Canada and the provincial/territorial equestrian organizations.

This year will mark the 11th anniversary of Horse Day, which was created to raise public awareness and promote the beloved horse. Across the country, events and celebrations will take place on June 1 to allow Canadians of all ages and experience levels to honour, discover and explore the equestrian world!
