A filly is a young Female Horse too young to be called a Mare . There are several specific definitions in use.

  • A common developmental definition is a female animal that has not reached sexual maturity; this usually means it is under 24 months of age.

  • However, horse owners more commonly define a ''filly'' as a female horse under the age of four years old.

  • Horse-racing sets the cutoff age for fillies as younger than four years.

  • A Filly is a female horse that has not become pregnant yet.
