a mare is female btw, a male horse is either a stallion or gelding (or steed)

EDIT: from u/AlterExpertise101 in the replies

> Words for a male horse are colt (young), gelding (castrated), stallion (if they are used for breeding) or simply "horse."

> Steed isn't a word explicit to horses in general, let alone male horses. "Steed" just means an animal you ride. While we generally associate that with horses, it can be applied to any animal as long as it can bear a rider. If you ride an elephant, it's a steed. If you ride a really large dog, it's also a steed.

I had forgotten to add 'colt' and as I am not a native english speaker (nor an equestrian individual) I didn't know that steed can also be used as a generic word for a mount

I feel like the picture does it justice but just as some background, the author of the post is a marine biologist and she is well known in the Orca loving community. Some guy commented on her post trying to be all 'Uhm actually' 🤓👆and calling her beyond stupid.

I thought she handled it really well. She wasn't mean in her answer, but also made it clear she didn't tolerate disrespect.

Green in the commenter,
Pink/purple is the author

I went to look up marmorkuchen because of this and now I really wanna try it, looks so good
