As horses go, Steve is a trifle long in the tooth. Yet nobody at his birthday party would
As horses go, Steve is a trifle long in the tooth. Yet nobody at his birthday party would have thought the handsome chestnut Shire was 147 -by human standards, that is. Steve was officialy twenty-one yesterday. But as horses ages are reckoned at seven years to every human one, he is nearly halfway through his second century. Steve did not look his age when he arrived for the party given by his employers at Youngs brewery in Wandsworth, London. The Taverners brass band struck up " Happy birthday" as he munched an iced cake.
Old Steve allows himself an accompanying neigh as the brass band strikes up with a short selection of ditties to mark his coming of age.

EDITORS COMMENTS
As horses go, Steve is a trifle long in the tooth. Yet nobody at his birthday party would have thought the handsome chestnut Shire was 147 - by human standards, that is. Steve was officially twenty-one yesterday. But as horse ages are reckoned at seven years to every human one, he is nearly halfway through his second century. Steve did not look his age when he arrived for the party given by his employers at Youngs brewery in Wandsworth, London. The Taverners brass band struck up "Happy Birthday" as he munched an iced cake. Old Steve allows himself an accompanying neigh as the brass band strikes up with a short selection of ditties to mark his coming of age. This heartwarming photo captures a truly remarkable celebration of life and friendship. Despite being well into his senior years, Steve exudes vitality and joy on this special occasion surrounded by loved ones who appreciate him dearly. The image showcases the bond between humans and animals, reminding us that age is just a number when it comes to cherished companionship. As jazz melodies fill the air and laughter echoes throughout the venue, it's evident that this gathering transcends species boundaries. Let this enchanting snapshot serve as a reminder to celebrate each passing year with zest and gratitude – just like old Steve here.
