I'm curious, when is a young filly or colt considered as a mare or gelding / stallion? I am finding conflicting information when I search it online. I've seen anywhere from 3yrs old to 7 yrs old. Thank you!
I've heard that too about race horses. That they age another year on January 1st no matter when they were born. Doesn't matter much with my girl though because she was born on January 16th
Oh boy! Haha, that does matter quite a bit! I'm glad my girl was born in January! Otherwise, that fact would kind of bug me... A lot.. I don't know, maybe I'm just weird like that? haha
The game Trivial Pursuit says a filly becomes a mare at 5.
No idea if that is right or wrong, I just remember it because I got it wrong.
