*ignores pastie*

tonitot I was just thinking about it earlier and now its annoying me lol! I suppose that technically they're a yearling throughout the whole of their second year, i.e. 12 months to 24. Maybe rising 2 is when they're over 18months?

cbmcts - so Puzzle is 2 years in June, so she'll be rising two in january? You sound like you know what you're talking about

Sorry to be thick jaypeebee but so you mean, she turned 1 in june, so she'll be rising 2 in january?

 

[jaypeebee]

She is in her yearling year this year as it is the year she turned 1. 2011 will be her 2 year old year. Use the prefix "rising" to let people know horse is in its 2 year old year but hasnt reached its actual birthday.
