Horse Racing and Riding Horses
In the horse racing world the word filly has a slightly different meaning. In a race a filly may be any female horse running under the age of five years old. The riding horse world rarely makes this distinction partially because horses arent really ridden except in training before they are four years old. If a horse show class is specifically for fillies the young horses will likely be shown in hand that is not being ridden.
