This is somewhat incidental to the original request, but for horses,
a foal is a "baby" horse of either gender, while a filly and a colt
are a female and male, respectively "non-adult" horse. I.e. "foal"
is usually used for horses no more than one year old, while "filly"
and "colt" are usually used for horses up to 5 years old (when they
are considered full-grown).
