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.

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.
The 1st of August
His birthday.
The official birthday for all race horses is January first
August 1 in Australia and January 1 in the US and most other parts of the world.
I belive horses can have birthdays whenever they are born or if you dont want to follow those I guess you can make up their own birthday :) I belive that you should keep track of your horses birthday for medical purposes. Like whenever you need to find out how old or young your horse is.
yes she loves horses especially since her tenth birthday when her father bought her a pony. yes she loves horses especially since her tenth birthday when her father bought her a pony.
The first of August is known as the horses birthday! August/september is also when most foals are born. I hope this answers your Q
You can celebrate your horse's birthday any way you wish. If you have an EC forum, you could hold a birthday party in his honour and invite other players to join in!
you have to go to your horse and see if it is a full number. EG: 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7..... but no 2 and 2 months because thats not a birthday
yes weren't you at the opening day their horses are so obedient
i think she has 14 just a guess because my friends birthday is that date
The Jockey Club gives all Thoroughbreds in the northern Hemisphere the birthday of January first and in the southern hemisphere the birthday of September first of their birth year to make it easier to sort the horses into races. They still have their actual birthdays written onto their registration records but they just use a general birthday to make things easier.
