Spring Colt | Warm SleepSpring Colt | a 7 Image Story   So, strictly speaking, what is a colt?   A colt is a male horse younger than four years old.  When a colt gets older than four, he is considered an adult and called a stallion if intact, gelding if castrated, or just a horse.  Horses can be called by many names, depending upon their age and sex.  A foal is a horse of either sex under the age of one year old.  A young female horse is called a filly.  A horse of either sex between one and two years old is called a yearling.  An adult female horse is called a mare.  No matter what you call them, young horses are special to all who know them.

Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Spring Colt.
