Mare (horseracing)

In thoroughbred horse-racing, a mare is defined as a female horse more than four years old; in harness racing a mare is a female horse more than three years old. The male equivalent to a mare is called simply a horse, although in harness racing the term aged horse is also used. A younger female horse is called a filly.
