A foal is an equine up to one year old the term is used mainly for horses. More specific terms are colt for a male foal and filly for a female foal used until the horse is three or four. When the foal is nursing from its dam it may also be called a suckling. After it has been weaned from its dam it may be called a weanling. When a mare is pregnant she is said to be in foal. When the mare gives birth she is foaling and the impending birth is usually stated.

After a horse is one year old it is no longer and is a yearling. There are no special age-related terms for young horses older than yearlings. When young horses reach breeding maturity the terms change a filly over three is called a mare and a colt over three is called a stallion. A castrated male horse is called a gelding regardless of age however colloquially the term gelding colt is sometimes used until a young gelding is three or four.

Horses that mature at a small size are called ponies and occasionally confused with foals. However, body proportions are very different. An adult pony can be ridden and put to work but regardless of size is too young to be ridden or used as a working animal. whether they grow up to be horse or pony-sized can be distinguished from adult horses by their extremely long legs and small, slim bodies. Their heads and eyes also exhibit juvenile characteristics. Although ponies exhibit some neoteny with the wide foreheads and small size their body proportions are similar to that of an adult horse. Pony foals are proportionally smaller than adults but like horse foals they are slimmer and have proportionally longer legs than their adult parents.
