Dynamic Syndications sends out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES" to our entire stable of horses as today, the 1st of August (in the Southern Hemisphere) is the horses’ birthday.
The
1st of August each year is the date all horses are judged to turn one year older, no matter their actual foaling date.
This is implemented to achieve a
uniform date for all equestrian pursuits and is was introduced because of the
historical lack of records of actual foaling dates.
It’s particularly important in the racing industry where a high proportion of racing is conducted in age group classification.
Their actual foaling date is always recorded with the Australian Stud Book but that is of little consequence due to industry standardisation.
Horses foaled earlier in the breeding season will have a physical advantage early on the racetrack based upon maturity and physical development.
When a horse is foaled down (born) it is considered a
weanling until the 1st August the following year, when it is considered a
yearling.
The following year on August 1st is that horse’s 2nd birthday when he becomes a
2YO, etc.
As we have many horse’s under management around Australia,
the Team at Dynamic Syndications take this opportunity on behalf of
ALL our owners to wish
ALL our horse a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
Rest assured the presents were not forgotten !!!
There were Carrots, a New Set of Shoes, an Extra Dipper of Molasses Sweetened Feed along with
& A HUGE “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” PAT !!!
