The foal's mother is called its dam and its father is its sire. Although an adult male horse in general is called a stallion.
The mother is still a mare. If she was under four years old before she gave birth, she will now be called a mare even though she is still young enough to be considered a filly. During her pregnancy she is said to be 'in foal' and after the foal is born she is nursing or has a foal at foot. A mare that is constantly used for breeding (usually covered again on her first heat after foaling) is called a broodmare. She'll revert to simply being called a mare however after the lead stallion chases off the colts (the male foals at age 4) and the fillies when they're at a particular age.
