'colt' is the term used for a young (up to 3 years old) male horse or pony - before it is gelded.
No, a young male horse is called a colt, not a filly. Filly refers to a young female horse.
An adult horse is either a mare or a stallion. A male adult is a stallion, and a female horse is a mare.
I'm guessing they are still called foals... First answer is correct, it is a foal, but the name of a young male horse is a colt. A horse that has turned a year old has now become a yearling. Before that, the males are called colts. Females are called fillys.
A colt typically refers to a young male horse that is under four years old.
A young male horse (<4 years old, typically) = colt A castrated male horse = gelding An intact male horse = stallion

A filly or a colt
A yearling .
A foal is a horse of either gender that is less than a year old. A filly is a female horse under four years old and colt is a male horse also under four years. This is not to be confused with a pony which is a horse that is less than 14.2 hands high.
A male horse younger than 4 years old is called a colt.
