About Filly Guide

Our Mission

Filly Guide was created with a simple mission: to make horse terminology accessible and understandable for everyone. Whether you're a student researching for a project, a new horse owner learning the basics, or simply curious about horses, we're here to help.

We believe that accurate, easy-to-understand information about horses should be available to everyone. Our team of equestrian enthusiasts and researchers work together to ensure every piece of content is both accurate and accessible.

What We Cover

Filly Guide covers a wide range of topics related to horse terminology, including:

• • Filly definitions - What is a filly and how she differs from other horse categories
• • Age classifications - Understanding horse life stages from foal to senior
• • Gender terminology - The differences between fillies, mares, colts, and stallions
• • Racing contexts - How terminology is used in the horse racing world
• • Historical context - The origins and evolution of horse terminology

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Every piece of content on Filly Guide is thoroughly researched and fact-checked. We consult with equestrian experts, veterinary resources, and established equine organizations to ensure our information is accurate and up-to-date.

We understand that horse terminology can vary between regions and contexts, especially when comparing American and British racing terminology. We strive to note these differences whenever relevant.

Why Horse Terminology Matters

Understanding horse terminology is about more than just vocabulary—it's about understanding the animals themselves. The words we use to describe horses reflect their age, gender, purpose, and place in human society.

For example, knowing that a filly is a young female horse under 4 years old tells us about her developmental stage, her capabilities, and her potential. This knowledge is essential for anyone working with, caring for, or simply appreciating horses.
