First the small horse:

The small horse is called Pony.

  • Ponies are generally considered intelligent and friendly, though sometimes they also are described as stubborn or cunning.
  • Properly trained ponies are appropriate mounts for children who are learning to ride.
  • Larger ponies can be ridden by adults, as ponies are usually strong for their size.
  • Ponies are a type of horse noted mainly for their depth of body and shorter than average legs, and the term has nothing to do with the age of the animal.

Then the young horse:

  • Baby horses are called foals. When a mare (a female horse) has a baby, she is said to have "foaled".
  • when the foal stands and nurses, it can be called suckling, but is usually just referred to as a foal.
  • A foal can either be a filly (young female horse) or a colt (young male horse). So, a foal can be either a colt or a filly. In some parts of the western United States, local dialect makes it okay for any foal to be called a "colt" regardless of their gender.
  • At 4 to 6 months, a baby horse is separated from it's mother. After this separation process, called weaning, the baby horse is called a weanling. "Weanling" is the proper term to call the foal until the baby horse turns 1 year old.
  • After one year old the baby horse is called a "yearling", and
  • yearlings over 18 months old are sometimes referred to as "long yearlings".
  • When the horse turns four years old they are usually referred to by their adult names, mares or stallions.
