A mare! A female horse is a mare, a male is a stallion, basically. However, a "baby" horse is a foal, a young male is a colt and a young female a filly. If a male horse is castrated it is then known as a gelding.

I hope you were talking about horses - mare means sea in several languages, and that's a whole new topic.
