Happy Birthday
All Thoroughbreds in Australia,celebrate their birthdays on the same date, January 1 in the Northern hemisphere and August 1 in the Southern.
Breeders breed their foals to be born on August 1st because they may not know the actual birthday of the horse, so they base it on the said date. So the first time the horse is alive on August 1, it is considered a yearling, then the next August 1st is considered it's 2nd birthday.
