U.N. General Assembly speeches address countless facets of human existence. But on Tuesday, one world leader also made a point of honoring the existence of horses.
“Horses have been integral to human livelihoods, culture and civilizations since time immemorial,” said Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, whose Central Asian nation led the Assembly earlier this year to designate July 11 as World Horse Day. Noting Mongolia's long history of horse-riding, he thanked Assembly members for supporting the initiative.
