Best Answer

A group of horses is called a herd. If the group of horses is made up of wild horses or mustangs, in the US they are called a band.

Sometimes, when the number of horses in the herd is known, they are referred to by "old timers" in the US as "30 head of horses" or "47 head of horses", for example.

It is still called a mare...just it is pregnant. Any female horse is called a mare unless it is just born then it is called a filly.

At birth its called a foal.when it reaches 3 years of age a female foal is called a filly,a male foal is called a colt. At 5 years of age,a filly becomes a mare; a colt a stallion.

A group of mares is called a harem. A stud is generally a breeding male or, according to Merriam Websters, an overall breeding group, including both males and females.
