Best Answer

An adult female is called a mare. An adult castrated male is called a gelding. An adult male that is uncastrated is a stallion. A young horse male or female is called a foal. A young female (under 2) is a filly. A young male is a colt.

There are also names for young horses as they grow. A foal that still nurses from the mother is a suckling. A foal that no longer nurses is a weanling. At his/her first birthday it's a yearling.
