In the USA/Northern Hemisphere, many breeds of horses use January 1st as the official foaling date of all foals born in a certain year.

August 1st is the official date for the Southern Hemisphere.

I could not find a specific date when this rule was instituted.

Why is your birthday the horses birthday?

Actually, January 1 is used as the common birth date for horses in the northern hemisphere and August 1 for horses in the southern hemisphere. This is to coincide with horse racing seasons.Another user said:Thoroughbred breeders breed the foals to be born on the first of August so that when the time comes for the foal to be broken it is the right time of year for them to race. And other horse owners celebrate their horses birthdays on the 1st of August because they may not know when the horses actual birthday is and so they celebrate it on the 1st of August.
