Happy Birthday

Happy New Year! Can you believe we made it thru the craziness that was 2020!!

Did you also know that today is probably your horse’s birthday? All thoroughbreds and pretty much all quarter horses (in the eyes of their registration agencies) turn another year older on Jan 1st. This is just to make sure all horses are the same age when it comes to competing in certain age events that have requirements or limits. If your quarter horse turns 6 this year they are no longer considered a junior horse and now must show in the senior horse events. Of course this only applies to horses living in the Northern Hemisphere, horses that live in the Southern Hemisphere turn a year older on August 1st.

We have three horses that are now 10 (Shooter, Dreamer and Scout) and one horse who is 4 (Hazel). We celebrated their birthdays with cupcakes and horse cookies and a very out of tune rendition of Happy Birthday!
