So ashamed

[Pilib]

I got a very obvious horsey question wrong in a quiz at work.............. I don't think I will ever live it down!

Q: When does a filly become a mare?


So, so, so ashamed, going to burry head in BHS books and beat myself with a leadrope!

[Pilib]

I can't..................

I don't think I can bear the humiliation!

 

[chunkytfg]

i'm non horsey and still learning these things.

 

[Pilib]

aww come on...PM me and tell, I'll keep your secret! Anyway, I got a very simple simple horsey question wrong in a quiz a few weeks ago and I've not lived it down

 

[Libbyn1982]

I have no idea either but i'd guess at 2 or 3??

 

[Pilib]

I said 3.

But apparently it's 5?

My excuse is i've only ever had geldings..........

What a thing not to know!

 

[The Original Kao]

i would've said 4

 

[BankEndRescue]

[Zoobie]

I didn't know and I have a stud farm in France

I think it's a grey area tbh - can be from 3-5. Ie, it's horses under the age of four, so you could say 4, or 3 depending on how you look at it. In racing it's 5 - so really they got it wrong, unless they specified they were talking about the racing industry

I would say you still got it right

 

[Gonetofrance]

In racing they are fillies until Jan 1st of the year they turn five in........so up to and including 4 years they're fillies.

The same applies to when a colt becomes a stallion.

[ladyt25]

I'd have said 4 (that was always what we were told as kids) but what a silly question to have in a quiz - shoot the quiz master I say! hehe

 

[teabiscuit]

i'd have said 4 too

 

[peanut]

I was very sad the day my filly turned 4 and I had to start referring to her as a mare

 

[Keltic]

My filly was 28 this year!

 

[Angua2]

oops.... I have been calling my mare a mare since I got her and she only turned 5 this year

well you learn something every day

 

[Chunkie]

I thought it was 4 too.

 

[hellsdarkrose]

I thought it was 3 too so you aren't on you're own

 

[Donkeymad]

I thought it was 4.
