" to Zeva:
actually a foal is a baby horse. A yearling is a horse from the ages of 1 to 2 years, a colt is a male horse under the age of four years, and filly is a female horse under the age of four. A mare would be an adult female and a stallion (non-castrated) or gelding (castrated) is an adult male.
A pony doesn't specify age or even height all the time. A horse and pony are two different creatures, although they are related. So I would assume since most people aren't familiar with all the terms of horses, the pantagraph writer wanted to keep it simple so everyone could understand. "

" Yep...it's those West-siders...always letting their horses run around. What's this town coming to? lol "

" I love this title; if it wasn't a full grown horse it would have been a pony so why specify full grown. Simply say a horse or pony. "

wild horse? i doubt it. was the horse scared ? im sure "

" I seriously doubt that this was a wild horse. It appears that it was an escaped horse and that means an excited horse, especially when it's chased by vehicles and whooping men. "
