Some people think a baby horse is called a pony. In fact, a baby horse is called a foal. A foal is a horse that is younger than one year old. A pony can be any age! Ponies have short legs and wider bodies than full-sized horses. Ponies often have thicker manes too! People can ride ponies, just like they can ride full-sized horses.
You often see or hear the word colt used to refer to any baby horse. But this is incorrect and there are specific words to designate the gender of a young horse. The word foal is the correct gender neutral word to use for a baby horse. Definition of Colt: A cold is an uncastrated male horse, pony, donkey or mule under four years of age. Pronunciation: k o lt (long o sound--rhymes with bolt) Also Known As: The world colt is often incorrectly used as a synonym for the word foal.
