Nobody has got this right yet.
A gelding is always a gelding as in a 2 year old gelding or a nine year old gelding.
A male horse is a colt until it turns five. As all Thoroughbred horses have the same birthday, January 1, a male horse born in 2002 was a four year old colt on 31 December 2006 but became a five year old horse on 1 January 2007.
Being a stallion is a different thing entirely and a male horse
( whether colt of horse) becomes a stallion when it begins to breed mares.
Similarly, a female horse is a filly until it becomes five yars old, at which time it becomes a mare.

Barbaro was a Colt until he turned 4.
Fillies Girls 0 to < 4
Mares Girls 4 to .....
Colts Boys 0 to < 4
Stallions Boys 4 to ......
Gelding Not - So - Boy 4 to.....
Registered Thoroughbreds all age on the same day, January 1st in the registry. He was "3" for the Derby which was last year. So your husband was actually right he was technically a stallion as of January first.
N.B. Barbaro's Actual Birthday in April still makes him a stallion

A colt when it hits 5 years of age is considered a stallion unless you make a gelding out of it which means cutting its balls out. A colt never becomes a mare, a filly becomes a mare when she hits 5 years of age.

i be attentive to a horse isn't seen finished grown until at last 2 years so im particular thats once you call it a mare, I even have heard a colt is termed a stallion around one to 2 years of age.

A mare is a female...plain and simple. A filly is a young mare.
Barbaro was a young stallion....called a colt. They usually stop calling them colts at age 4. Barbaro would have turned 4 on April 29th.
He was old enough to breed, though. So, he was both.

A colt can never become a mare, same as a boy will never become a woman. He will become a stallion at, as I remember, age 3.
