National Horse Protection Day
The plight of horses in America and elsewhere is shown by National Horse Protection Day on March 1st, which highlights the plight of horses in America and elsewhere. The day aims to help thousands of homeless horses in this country find forever homes.
In American history, the horse has a legendary mystique. The legendary horse is embedded in our culture in North America and goes deep into our roots, which go back to our ancestors. Our indebtedness to the horse grew as the nation expanded. Although few people think the horse is worth more than a recreational animal today, working ranches continue to serve on working ranches. Horses are able to treat PTSD, anxiety, and other disorders as a therapy animal. They continue to be linked to humans long past their time as a plow horse or part of the cavalry, and we continue to depend on them.
Despite their legendary status, many go unemployed, abused, or neglected. National Horse Protection Day is about addressing those topics. Several organizations support horse rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption around the country. Their services provide shelter and veterinary care for horses that have been neglected or abused. Many of them run a sanctuary where the horses live out the remainder of their lives. Many of the horses are now available for adoption after they were rehabilitated.
All of these programs require funds, volunteers, and education for the general population. Food, medical equipment, shelter, and training all require time and resources. Costs can vary depending on the horse's health.
