Today is a special commemorative day, especially in our community with its long-standing equestrian heritage. It’s Day of the Horse!

Effective August 2018, Day of the Horse was added to Illinois’ Commemorative Dates to be celebrated every March 5!

Sec. 196. Day of the Horse. The fifth day of March of each year shall be designated as the Day of the Horse, to be observed throughout the State as a day to encourage citizens to honor and celebrate the role of equines in the history and character of Illinois, and to recognize the benefits of the equine industry to the economy, agriculture, tourism, and quality of life in Illinois.
