Here at Canva, we believe that change is inevitable, and design can make a huge difference in the world. Design makes people think, feel, and act. A poster is not just a poster; no matter how simple it is, it has the power to inspire others to make a change and help improve the world.
This year of the horse, we hope and prepare for prosperity, for thriving, for being free-spirited, wild, and majestic, just like the horse is, but this amazing animal that we all admire and love faces a great deal of neglect. This is due to countless reasons, but they are rarely discussed, such as economic hardships, unforeseen injuries or illness, or even simpler life circumstances that require owners to rearrange and leave their horses behind, where more often than not these horses tragically end up simply abandoned, neglected, or even at the risk of being slaughtered. Approximately 200,000 beautiful horses are unwanted in the United States annually (PMC, 2026). Horses are not just animals; they are gentle, caring, and astonishingly intelligent creatures with which we create deep bonds, who also bring joy to countless communities, ranches, families, and even therapy programs. It is devastating to think so many end their lives in these terrible conditions. So, in the Year of the Horse, we should make a change and save these incredible creatures. Use Canva today to create powerful social graphics, infographics, posters, anything you can think of that shows the strength, power, love, joy, and everything else horses are to urge people to act towards adoption, rescue support, responsible ownership, and even policy changes. The possibilities are infinite when creativity oversees change!
Join us in this journey to #saveourhorses. We want to see your designs! Share them across all social media platforms to increase awareness and support for these incredible creatures.
