Filly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (140 words) |
 | A filly is a female horse, specifically one which has not reached sexual maturity. |
 | In Thoroughbred horse racing, the definitions of "filly" and "mare" are slightly different. |
 | In this context, female horses are not classified as "mares" until they are five-year-olds—more precisely, on the fifth January 1 (for horses born in the Northern Hemisphere) or August 1 (for horses born in the Southern Hemisphere) after their actual date of birth. |
