World Horse Day on July 11 - by the UN

 The UN in Geneva is celebrating World Horse Day on July 11. This day was created by the UN in June 2025. They want to remind us how horses have helped people for a long time – in farming, transport, work, and even therapy. Today, horses and other working donkeys and mules still support the lives of about 600 million people around the world. But they face problems like hot weather caused by climate change. The UN asks us to protect these animals. The post includes a picture of a horse with the words "Honoring a Timeless Partner" and the UN logo. The campaign is also linked to the FAO and other UN groups that promote good farming, fair pay for rural people, and better care for working animals. 🐴🌾

Few animals have contributed to human progress as profoundly — and quietly — as the horse.#WorldHorseDay is a call to protect one of humanity’s oldest partnerships, which still helps feed us, support our economies, and lift our spirits.https://t.co/UHkrmlLZxT pic.twitter.com/A5Vw4jNmyY
