fillies
Immature female horses
Fillies is the plural of filly, a young female horse typically under four years old.
The term extends to young women, though this use sounds dated or patronizing: a group of fillies at the dance hall.
In horse racing, fillies run in sex-restricted races until they mature into mares.
