At birth to weaning, a foal. Weaning to one year, a weanling. One year old to two: a yearling. Almost two: a long yearling. Two years old: a two year old. Three years old: a three year old. Four years old: an adult. Within each category, the horse can be male (colt, gelding, or stallion) or female (filly or mare).

A baby horse is called a foal when they are still very young and need their dam/mother to survive. Generally that is until age 4 months which is a classic age to be weaned. Then they are called a colt or filly if male or female. They stay a colt until age 1-3 years (generally people call them a horse at around age 2). If a male stud colt has his testicles removed he is gelded and becomes a gelding. At that time, he can be called a gelding or a colt. Many people geld stud colts at around age 8-18 months. As adults males are called stallions or geldings. Adult female horses are mares.
