Do colts like to play with toys more than fillies? and do they grow out of it?
I have had mostly mares over the years, but a few colts have showed up at my domicile.
The colts seem more interested in getting into things. I have gotten them balls and other so called enrichment toys but unless it dispensed treats they lost interest pretty quick.
Today I watched a charming video of a well grown horse giving a large ball hell. There were other colts and grown horses playing with different things.
No mares.
OK, weigh in folks, what have you observed

In my own personal observations, both fillies and colts play. Playfulness is usually subject to individual personality more so than gender. Playful colts and fillies definitely can grow out of it. Younger horses are usually more playful than older ones. My 12 year old mare does still occasionally play with things though. A few weeks ago she picked my dressage whip off the arena floor and started swinging it around. She likes to play in water too.

Depends on the horse, sometimes, yes, sometimes, NO! That applies to both questions, most adult horses dont play as much as younger ones, but adult horses play the same way and even with foals.
