Why is your birthday the horses birthday?
Do you live in the Northern Hemisphere? Is your birthday January 1? Then your birthday is going to be the same as every horse born in the Northern Hemisphere. Do you live in the Southern Hemisphere? Is your birthday August 1? Then your birthday is going to be the same as every horse born in the Southern Hemisphere. Now, with that out of the way, allow me to explain. For purposes of simplifying the aging of the animals for contracts/sale/etc. one of the above-noted dates was assigned for all horses in the particular hemisphere in question. Period. As to why the date is different in each hemisphere? I haven't got a clue. I can tell you why it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere while it is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. But ... why they have each chosen the distinctly different day for the marking of horses' birthdays ... that's beyond my ken.

Actually, January 1 is used as the common birth date for horses in the northern hemisphere and August 1 for horses in the southern hemisphere. This is to coincide with horse racing seasons.Another user said:Thoroughbred breeders breed the foals to be born on the first of August so that when the time comes for the foal to be broken it is the right time of year for them to race. And other horse owners celebrate their horses birthdays on the 1st of August because they may not know when the horses actual birthday is and so they celebrate it on the 1st of August.

Why is the great 3year old Filly Surround not in the the Racehorses Hall of Fame?
The US is not the only place that has horse racing. Surround was indeed an Australian horse and in 1976 became the only filly to win the Australian equivalent of the US Triple Crown. that's how good she was. Young Australian horses rarely race in the Northern hemisphere becasue their 'birthday is 1st July making them either 6 months older or younger than northern hemishere horses. In my opinion, maybe Surround is a great horse but at that time in Australia they didn't really get that much attention in giving them a Hall of Fame award not much like in American Horse Racing.
