You could call it a MAre or Gelding... i think
a gelding is a stallion that got his you-know-what's cut off.A 3 year old female foal is a filly,a male a colt.a 5 year old filly is called a mare, a 5 year old colt a stallion.
From what I can tell there really aren't any details that a 7 year old can understand. I can see that the fact they do something like this every year suggests they've been successful, but a 7 year old can't.

Who sang the original version of wild horses?
"Wild Horses" is a song by the Rolling Stones from their 1971 album Sticky Fingers, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Burrito Deluxe, was released in April 1970.
The album is considered less inspired than its predecessor, but it is notable for the Parsons-Hillman-Leadon song "Older Guys" and for its take on Jagger and Richards' "Wild Horses"-the first recording released of this famous song. Parsons was inspired to cover the song after hearing an advance tape of the Sticky Fingers album sent to Kleinow, who was scheduled to overdub a part on the song (Kleinow's part was not included on the released Rolling Stones version, though it is available on bootlegs). Jagger consented to the cover version, so long as the Flying Burrito Brothers did not issue it as a single.

Yes. Typically in any wild herd there is only one stallion with a harem comprising of 10 to sometimes 50 mares.

Once they have reached sexual maturity or are old enough to leave their mothers, the dominating stallion will chase them away.
There are also herds of stallions, often called bachelor herds, which mainly comprise of young teenage-like stallions that don't have their own females to guard and mate yet. Sometimes there may be an older stallion or two with them, depending on whether that old stallion has been replaced by a younger and stronger male.

What age is a foal fully grown?
This can vary from breed to breed and every horse is different. Some breeds like the Arabian are more slow to mature. But on the average most horses have the majority of their height between the ages of 2 and 3 years old. But they continue to fill out for several more years. When working with young horses you have to be careful not to push them too hard. There is a growth plate in a horse's knees that do not close until after they have acheived their full growth. Like a soft spot on a newborn's head. Too much too soon can ruin the horse's legs. They also need to mature mentally. A young horse has a short attention span. When working with youngsters keep their lessons very short and build up over time. A few minutes a day, twice a day is much better than a 2 hour workout. This is the best time to get a horse's trust that will last his whole life. A horse treated with love and patience will always return the favor when you, the handler, makes a mistake.
