A horse's young is called a foal. A year old foal is called a yearling, and a two-year old foal is called a two-year old. A foal that no longer nurses from its mother is called a weanling or weaned foal, colt or filly. A male young horse is called a colt until it turns four years old, a female young horse is called a filly until about the same time.

The generic term for a young (under one year) horse is "foal". A male foal is a colt, a female foal is a filly. "Colt" and "filly" may also refer to a young (but over 1 year old) horse of the appropriate sex.
