Veterinary III CFE Practice Exam

Which term describes a female horse?

Filly Mare Colt Stallion

Correct Answer:

Mare

Explanation:

In horses, terms change with sex and age. An adult female horse is called a mare, which is the standard term used in breeding, racing, and veterinary settings. A filly is simply a young female under about four years old. A colt is a young male under four, and a stallion is an adult uncastrated male. So, since the question asks for the term describing a female horse, mare is the best answer because it specifies an adult female, while the other terms refer to younger females or to males.
