well, any horse under 4 years is a foal, but it also works like this,

any female horse under 4 years is a filly

any male horse under 4 years is a colt, after 4 years a male horse will be called a stallion, if he is gelded, he will then be a gelding, so any female horse over 4 years is a Mare.

`A baby horse is considered a foal.

From about 3-4 years of age they can be considered Colts (for males) or Filly's (for females).

When they are "weaned" (stop feeding from the mother) , they can also be called "Weanling's" ( that is normally from about 6-8 months of age).

When they are one year old, they are called "Yearlings".

There are many more names when they exceed one year of age.`

How much grain does a horse eat in a year?

The amount of grain a horse eats varies from horse to horse. So giving a hard answer to this can be hard. However it is widely accepted that a horses diet should never consist of more than 50% grains or concentrates(Pelleted feeds are safer and better for horses than straight grains like oats or corn.) So if you have a 1,000 pound horse and he gets 20 pounds of feed daily, then 50%( or less )would be 10 pounds( or less )of grains. so 10 x 365 = 3650 (again or less) of grains a year. It is however recommended that you never feed that much grain to a horse on a daily basis.
