What's the difference between a filly and a foal?

Question

On howrse.com, i am having a filly and I want to know if its a girl or a boy?

Answer 1

a foal is a baby

Answer 2

all horses are foals when they are born.

Answer 3

filly is female

colt is male

Answer 4

Foal: baby still with its mom

Weanling: baby being weaned from its mom

Filly: female from 1 to 4 years old

Colt: male from 1 to 4 years old

Mare: female 5 and older

Stallion: male 5 and older

Gelding: fixed male, any age

When they're babies, we don't really differentiate their gender...  a foal and weanling are gender neutral.  The website is telling you it's a filly so that you know that it's a girl.

Answer 5

The differece between a filly and a foal is:

-A filly is a baby girl horse. When it is older it is called a Mare.

-A colt is a baby boy horse.

-A foal is newborn horse regardless of it's s*x.
