Wishing all our four legged friends all the best on their birthday and for the coming year

 

 

Hi

 

My son will not be too happy to be called a horse

Later in life I'm sure he'll be able to work sharing the same birthday as horses into a conversation to his advantage

At the bar: "You know, I am birthdayed like a horse ;)"

I knew this but....... why is it so?

I think Its just a rounding device to simplify the matter of qualifying for age class races and events.

Aug 1st is a convenient date because most foals are born in Spring.

e.g.  Foals born this Spring will qualify for 2YO races after Aug 1st 2016.
