What is a Male Horse Called
So you are wondering what a male horse is called? Male horses are called different words, depending on their age and other factors. A male horse, when it is born, is called a colt. Most colts are gelded (the horse term for neutering) between the ages of 6 months and 18 months. A male colt that is ungelded is called a "stud colt". After the age of two years male horses are correctly referred to as geldings ("neutered") or stallions (un"neutered"). A stallion can also be referred to as a "stud".
Have you wondered what a baby horse is called? Baby horses are called foals. When a mare (female horse) has a baby, she is said to have "foaled", when the foal stands and nurses, it can be called suckling, but is usually just refered to as a foal. A foal can either be a filly (young female horse) or a colt (young male horse). In some parts of the country, foals are called a "colt" regardless of their gender. What are older baby horses called?
At 4 to 6 months, a baby horse is seperated from it's mother. After this separation process, called weaning, the baby horse is called a weanling. "Weanling" is the proper term to call the foal until the baby horse turns 1 year old. After one year old the bay horse is called a "yearling" and yearlings over 18 months old are sometimes refered to as "long yearlings". When the horse turns two years old they are usually refered to by their adult names, mares or stallions. Now you know what a baby horse is called.
