"Baby horses" are NOT called ponies. They are called foals, a colt if its a male foal, and a filly if its a female foal.
Ponies are horses that are under 14.2 hands, but again, are not 'baby horses'.
Bottom line, Ponies are not foals, nor will they ever be, there is a big difference between the two. If you do not believe me, look it up. Anyone that knows anything about horses should know this.

Foals.Female foals are called fillies.Male foals are called colts.Foals is just a general term for a group of young horses, typically under the age of 4. Any older and they would be called Mares (for grown female horses), Stallions (for grown, un-gelded male horses) or Geldings (for gelded male horses.) Or if their was a group of horses with a stallion as leader, mares, and the occasional foals, it would be called a herd.Gelded = Neutered
