Do you celebrate your horse's birthday?

[arwenplusone]

Pointless post but it's my birthday so I will if I want to

Just wondered how many of you actually know when your horses birthdays are and whether or not you 'mark' the occasion.

I myself don't as they don't give a fig one way or the other so why should I?

I know the month, so have picked a day and he gets lots of fuss and a few treats

It's June 21st.

P was born on 21st May 1991

I know his birthday but don't really celebrate so to speak...

 

[Gorgeous George]

Happy Birthday Arswenplusone!

I don't know George's b'day, but I will celebrate on the day I got him, 31st May.

I don't know Meg's or Chloe's birthdays, and am not really sure of their ages - there is 6 months discepency for meg between the vet's guess and the dentist, and Chloe is either 15 or 16.

I wouldn't celebrate it even if I did know - they get spoilt rotten most days anyway.

Barons 7th Birthday

- this was his first birthday with me and I got him a carrot cake - he spat it out

And a banner that he was not too impressed with

Last year on his 8th he just got a load of carrots, lots of cuddles and a day off

I've never been told when it is.........so no, can't really celebrate it!

Happy Birthday to you!

Yes, I foolishly celebrate my horses birthdays!!

They get extra treats and cuddles, which they're totally non-plussed by. I once read that at a big yard they got their horses bramley apple pies with custard on their birthdays, so I did the same. No bugger would eat them! Ungrateful wretches!!!

 

[zoesophie]

Firstly....

Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to arwenplusoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Happy birthday to you...

Yes we do celebrate Oscars birthday, well its actually Oscars "purchaseday" coz we dont know when he was born. We know roughly how old he is so have a little sing song for him. We make a cake out of a bit of feed, carrots and molasses and he loves it!

(How sad do I sound now Ive just re-read all that - o well!

)

 

[Baggybreeches]

I have 2 TB's, they are like the queen in that they have their official birthday and the day they were born, Emerald is 22 of April (quite late for a TB) and Sovereign is 22 of June (Freakishly late, enough said

) Touchy being from Ireland has whatever birthday I want her to have!!

 

[rforsyth1984]

Sians is 25th Jan, but we dont celebrate it.

 

[suestowford]

I dont give him any extra treats but have taken a picture of him on his b'day every year. The pics are quite interesting as he was only 3 when I got him, it's nice to see how he's developed over the last few years.

Harley was born wild on Bodmin Moor, so I have no idea! I was there whe our foal hit the ground, so won't ever forget that date!

 

[pocket]

Ralph is a rescue so I know nothing of his parenting/b'day, so I say the day I took him on is his birthday and every year he gets a birthday badge and card, along with other treats and some guinness, gets that at Christmas too

 

[Enfys]

Happy Birthday!

I know when all the Birthdays are, I can just never remember and other than a "Oh so and so is 18 today, or was that last week?" it doesn't get a mention. Poor devils, what a horrible life they have

I am a bad parent

Actually, I forget ALL birthdays, husbands, daughters, mine, and as for anniversaries

I write them on the calender and then forget to look.

 

[I_A_P]

i normally give them some treats

 

[Mid]

i don't know his real birthday, or even the year he's born in, so his is on the 6th February. no reason really, just like that day!

 

[Cobland]

Mae was born on the 17th May 2003, Finn was born 10th May 2006. Yeap i celebrate them lol

 

[Shilasdair]

Happy Birthday!
I used to make a fuss of my old horse on her birthday which she bore with polite distance until eventually she took me to one side and told me that it's not the done thing in equine circles, and could I please s** off and stop embarassing her.
So now I celebrate it...but by going out for a meal with my OH or anyone handy!
Any excuse for a celebration.
And thanks for reminding me - it's my cat's 19th birthday in a few days....and cats do celebrate...with fish...

[LindsayWoodward]

i always celebrate my horses's birthday...and the anniversary of buying her...she loves it or rather perhaps she loves the food?! x

 

[Mollymillymoo]

Happy birthday! And we don't know coco's birthday or even the month but he gets lots more carrots than usual on the 'anniversary' of when we got him

and christmas time we make him 'mince pies' and he usually gets one of those horsey advent calenders too

My donkey had carrot cake with his name on it and apple dipped in treacle for his last birthday.

 

[soph21]

Buddies 10 his birthday has always been the day a i got him which is 6th of July. But a few months ago i traced his Breeders and they gave me all his details and his birthday is in May, i cant remember it off the top of my head but im glad i know it now!!
Bear is 4 and was born in September sometime but i say its the 28th of July because i bought him last july!!!
Bertie my colt was born on the 23rd of April this year i met him/fell in love with him when he was 2 days old!!! he's the image of bear!!

 

[Chex]

I don't even know the year he was born, never mind the day or month

. I just count it from the day I bought him, but I usually forget so don't do anything special.
