Mare

A mare is a female horse. Other female equines are also sometimes called mares. Before her third birthday, she is called a filly. When a mare wants to mate, she is called in heat. This lasts for about three weeks. Signs that she's in heat include grooling.Hodgson, D. R., et al. "Dissipation of metabolic heat in the horse during exercise."
