Horse birthdays are more than a fun tradition—they play a role in competition rules, health milestones, and the bond between horses and their people.
In the Northern Hemisphere, horses “age up” every January 1, no matter their actual foaling date. A foal born on December 30 will be considered one year old just two days later. In the Southern Hemisphere, the universal birthday falls on August 1. These rules provide consistency for breeding, sales, and competition classes.
Pro Tip: Use your horse’s birthday as a reminder for a full care check-up—teeth, vaccines, and hoof health. Consider adding Silver Hoof EQ Therapy® to your routine for year-round hoof strength and resilience.
Equine birthdays, whether marked with carrots, grooming, or milestones, are a way to honor the partnership between horse and rider. They remind us to care for our horses’ health, celebrate their companionship, and create lasting memories—one year at a time.

My horse had a huge hematoma I spent months trying to get it to heal. The vet ended up lancing it but it was still having issues draining due to swelling. I had done just about everything I could; poultice 12on/12off, cold hose twice a day, bute, and antibiotics. I felt like I couldn’t stay on top of it. ONE day of using this liniment the results showed immediately. The swelling decreased by 50% and he overall looked a lot more comfortable. A few days later it was healed up and scabbed over.
Christine, thank you for taking the time to share this. That kind of long, frustrating situation is exactly why we built Draw It Out® the way we did. When you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to move the needle, even small progress matters.
We’re grateful you gave the 64oz High Potency Gel a chance and even more grateful it helped your horse finally turn the corner. Stories like this don’t happen overnight and they don’t happen by accident. They happen when care is consistent and the formula does its job quietly.
Thank you for trusting us with your horse. That means everything to us.
— The Draw It Out® Team
