A filly is a female horse that is too young to be called a mare.There are two specific definitions in use: In most cases, a filly is a female horse under four years old.; In some nations, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the world of horse racing sets the cutoff age for fillies as five.
The word mare, meaning "female horse", took several forms before A.D. 900. [7] In Old English the form was mīere, mere or mȳre, the feminine forms for mearh (horse). The Old German form of the word was Mähre. [8] Similarly, in Irish and Gaelic, the word was marc, in Welsh, march, in Cornish "margh", and in Breton marc'h. [8]
A newborn horse is "foaled". After a horse is one year old, it is no longer a foal, and is a "yearling". There are no special age-related terms for young horses older than yearlings. When young horses reach breeding maturity, the terms change: a filly over three (four in horse racing) is called a mare, and a colt over three is called a stallion.
