Photo Challenge: Sweet 16!
Our readers like to celebrate their horses’ birthdays almost as much as their own!
This week we wanted to see how you celebrate your horses’ birthdays. From hats to balloons to cakes to spa days, our readers did not disappoint! Here are 16 horses enjoying their birthday celebrations… or at least tolerating their owners’ antics.

When I was still boarding my mare, Scooter, she was part of a lesson program and we would have a birthday party for her every year. The kids would make birthday cards for her and decorate her stall. We’d play games with some of the other horses like Apple Bobbing races and in-hand obstacle courses. I’d make cupcakes for the kids and bring carrots for the ponies. This photo is from 2012.
