19 February - National Arabian Horse Day

 

National Arabian Horse Day is an informal U.S. holiday that is celebrated on February 19. It is one of those animal holidays that millions of Americans cherish. This is because Arabian horses have become so widespread in the country that, even though they could only be owned by people of affluence originally, they are now beasts that any average American can own. Despite the Middle East being the earliest origin of the horse breed, more than half of the few million Arabian horses in the world are found in the U.S. ground.
