Encyclopedia: Foal
A foal is a young horse of either gender. More specific terms are colt for a male foal and filly for a female foal. When foals reach breeding age (typically age 2-4), the terms change: a filly is called a mare and a colt is called a stallion. A castrated male horse is called a gelding. (There is no specific term for a spayed female horse, but this is rarely done to horses.)
