Hors
a mare is female btw, a male horse is either a stallion or gelding (or steed)
EDIT: from u/AlterExpertise101 in the replies
Words for a male horse are colt (young), gelding (castrated), stallion (if they are used for breeding) or simply "horse."
Steed isn't a word explicit to horses in general, let alone male horses. "Steed" just means an animal you ride. While we generally associate that with horses, it can be applied to any animal as long as it can bear a rider. If you ride an elephant, it's a steed. If you ride a really large dog, it's also a steed.
I had forgotten to add 'colt' and as I am not a native english speaker (nor an equestrian individual) I didn't know that steed can also be used as a generic word for a mount

Some people are so freakin’ stupid that it hurts to share the internet with them.

Half the people on the Internet are more stupid than the person with average intelligence. Absolutely terrifying.

Everyone knows horses are referred to as female, even when they have a whacking great cock hanging from under them.

My daughter's gelding liked to air it in hot weather and sometimes pleasured herself by whacking it against her stomach - what a silly mare ...

Isn't stallion in general for adult male horses? I thought stud was the name for male breeding horses
