National Arabian Horse Day is observed worldwide every February 19 to honor the Arabian horse, one of the oldest and most popular horse breeds. The breed originated in the Arabian Peninsula and is recognized for its high tail carriage and distinctive head shape. Celebrations often include learning about the breed's history, visiting Arabian horse farms, and participating in events such as the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, which is operated by the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona. This association, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to preserving the Arabian horse through promotion and education. The holiday was created in 2021 and is supported by publications like Arabian Horse Times and Experience Arabian Horses. Activities may also include horse riding lessons and sharing information about the breed on social media using the hashtag #NationalArabianHorseDay.
