National I Love Horses Day

Hello everyone I hope you all are having a stupendous Saturday.

Did you know that tomorrow is NATIONAL I LOVE HORSES DAY?  Yes, that’s right on July 15 we recognize the love of one magnificent creature.!!

With over 200 breeds, these spirited animals have given humans much to love. Their loyalty and devotion throughout history may only be a portion of the reasons to love them. Not just a means of transportation, horses cleared fields, fought wars, moved cattle and were companions on long lonely trails. They were a cornerstone of survival in a burgeoning nation.

The tallest horse breed is the Shire. The stallions of this draft horse breed tower at 17 hands above the tiny Falabella, which grows to only eight hands and is the smallest breed of horse.

The quarter horse, named for its speed on a short track, is one the of three fastest breeds of horses. Thoroughbreds follow quarter horses for longer distance, but Arabians outlast both breeds for endurance on the longest races.

Celebrate by visiting a local stable for a horseback ride, a national park where wild horses still roam or riding your own horse if you have one. Post on social media using #NationalILoveHorsesDay.

 

 

How lucky are we to have our beautiful Amaretto horses to breed and to love!!  Take some time out of your busy weekend pick your favorite (I know that is a hard thing to do – I love them all) and check out some of the beautiful riding trails that are here.  This is one of those places you may want to visit to ride and relax –  Yosemite Valley http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Yosemite/192/64/2652.

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you all love your horses as much as I love mine and Happy Breeding!!
