yearling - a horse that is approx. 1 year old
weanling - a horse that has just been weaned from it's mother (separated)
dam - a horse's mother
sire - a horse's father
green - an untrained horse
out of - a term meaning "mothered by"

ex ; this horse is out of that gray mare by that brown stallion
that's about all I can think of at the moment.

Filly is a female foal and will stay a filly up until they are a 3yo. at which time they become a mare. Same with a colt which is a male foal up until they are 3 at which time they are considered a stallion and once they are bred they are a stud. A gelding is a stallion who has been altered.
A yearling is just that a horse either filly or colt who is a year old. Weanling is a foal who has been weaned from their dam up til the point they become a yearling. A suckling is just that a foal who is still nursing.
Dam is the mare a foal is OUT OF and a sire is the stud a foal IS BY. Dams have produce of dam and stallions have get of sire.
