A filly is a female horse that is too young to be called a mare. There are two specific definitions in use:

The equivalent term for a male is a colt. When horses of either sex are less than one year, they are referred to as foals.[4] Horses of either sex between one and two years old may be called yearlings. See also{{wiktionary|filly}}
