noun
A young female horse, typically less than four years old.
A filly is specifically female, which sets it apart from a colt, a young male horse, while both terms fall under the wider word foal for any very young horse. Breeders and racing officials treat age four as a rough boundary, after which a filly is usually called a mare instead. The word is common in horse racing, where several major races are restricted to fillies only.
