A colt is the the name given to a new born horse 99% of the time but correctly a colt is a baby male horse. A foal is the proper term for a new born. If I were to ask if the horse had a baby I would say has your horse foaled yet? Generally speaking a foal is usually reffered to the new and a couple weeks later then called colt. you will hear a lot of old cowboys refer to the males as horse colts and females just colts. The female young horse is called a filly until she is bred then making her a mare. the male becomes a stud unless castrated then called gelding.

∙ 12y agoA horse and a pony are in relation the same as a horse and zebra are. They are in the same family as horses. A horse has their own breeds and so does a pony. Such as Arabain horse and Welsh Pony. An Arabian cant truly ever be a pony and vice versa BUT there is height. A hand is four inches and you measure from the top of the horse's back (whithers) to the ground. A horse is considered 14.3 hands and up while a pony is 14.2 hands and less. A mini horse is a horse but under 10hands.
You can have say a mustang horse. A mustang is a horse, not a pony breed. BUT most mustangs are pony height so would be considered a pony but arent really. Its confusing i know.
