Horsey Terms

Today we'll be going over the horses' world (or should it be the horse peoples' world?) of terms and sayings. I'll just leave it as a list, and you can read through and memorize what you can.
  • Filly - a female foal
  • Colt - a male foal
  • Foal - a baby horse within the age range of newborn-weanling
  • Weanling - a horse within the ages of about 5-6 months through 1 year
  • Yearling - a horse that's 1 year old
  • Adolescent - a horse that's 2 to about 4 years old
  • Mare - female horse
  • Gelding - a castrated (unbreedable) male horse
  • Stallion - a male horse
This is just the basic list, and I'll see if I can have a more advanced one later. If you have any questions about words I've been using to talk about horses, just ask in a comment.
