filly
Colt's female counterpart
A filly is a young female horse, typically under four years of age, after which she's called a mare.
The term applies specifically to horses and related equines like ponies and donkeys.
In informal and sometimes patronizing usage, filly can refer to a young woman, though this sounds dated or mildly offensive to modern ears.
That filly has real potential as a racehorse.
