A gelding is a castrated horse or other equine, such as a donkey or a mule. Castration, and the elimination of hormonally driven behavior associated with a stallion, allows a male horse to be calmer and better-behaved, making the animal quieter, gentler and potentially more suitable as an everyday working animal.
When a foal reaches 1 year old it is called a yearling. When a horse reaches its second birthday, it is typically referred to by its adult name: mare for females and stallion for males. Baby horses are often mistakenly called ponies, but this is incorrect. Pony is the name given to horses that are small in size but are still full-grown.
