What is a "yearling"?

A yearling is a young horse that is between one and two years old. At this stage, the horse has typically undergone basic training and is beginning to show its potential for racing or other activities. Yearlings are often sold at auctions, where trainers and breeders assess their physical traits and abilities for future development. This period marks the transition from a foal to a more mature horse, and they are closely monitored for their health and growth.
