A baby horse is called a "foal". They are remarkable little creatures. If you ever have the chance to see one up close and in person, I highly recommend it! A horse is usually not considered to be a "horse" until it is 5 years old. Before that, males are known as colts and females are known as fillies. However, it is still acceptable to call a colt or filly a horse http://www.squidoo.com/all-groups Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:53:37 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:26:09 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/all-groups A baby horse is called a "foal".
