Thank you do much! "Mares" in Catalan means "mothers"

[nathan875939]

Lol in America, we dont care what gender our horses are
.

[MAVENfunBUPKIS]

Unless you breed them. Then it's very important.

[WarriorCleberz]

Thanks for this explanation, I had noticed something different in that sentence.

[GerMon75]

What is the difference between horses and mares? Thk for the answer in advance

[YardenNB]

A mare is a female horse. English has many words for horses...

[Aerologia]

Let's see.

Stallion = (not neutered)male adult horse
Mare = female adult horse
Colt = male young horse
Filly = female young horse
Foal = young horse, can be colt or filly

Yup. Being an mlp fan hasn't failed me

When reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" I ran into some more nuances, based on type or usage of the animal. https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Horse

[PorkFreeCoffee]

Horse סוס and mare סוסה
Horses סוסים mares סוסות

[Clakow]

Mares in Spanish is a sinonym of océanos what means seas

[AnnaCaroli794239]

Yeah, in portuguese too. I would die without know that female horses are called as "mares" as well. When i saw the sentence, for a insant i was f*cking confused.

[AnCatDubh]

Like Don Quixote, riding his Dulcinea…

[Daiana.215]

What about if someone is just casually talking about horses (or any animal for that matter)? Then what gender would be used? For example a child saying "I want many rabbits/horses/whatever one day!"

[YardenNB]

The masculine סוסים.
