What is a filly? What’s the difference between a mare and a filly? We explain <\/p>
The horsey world uses a wealth of equestrian terms. Here we get to grips with the word ‘filly’. <\/p>
Mares and fillies are both female horses. A filly is a young female horse or pony<\/a> under four years old. When it’s born, it is usually referred to a filly foal and then, once it reaches a year old it is known as a filly. It can also be referred to as a yearling.<\/p> When a filly reaches four years old, it is upgraded to a mare. If a mare breeds a foal, it is usually known as a broodmare. The mother of a foal is known as the \u2018dam\u2019.<\/p> A colt is a young male horse under the age of four. If he has been gelded, he is also known as a gelding<\/a>. If he doesn’t get castrated, he is known as a stallion when he reaches adulthood.<\/p> Want to learn more about horses? Check out;<\/strong><\/p> What is a filly?
