mares

Grown-up filly cohort

Mares is the plural of mare, an adult female horse.

The word appears in contexts involving breeding, racing, and general horsemanship: The mares were moved to a separate pasture.

A mare's nest is a confused or illusory discovery—something that looks significant but turns out to be worthless or nonexistent.
