I'm a dork.  So... Let's say Sunburst here is a "young adult" pony... horse... whatever.

If he had a mare friend, would he be called a colt friend?  A stallion friend?

Because aren't colts just young-is baby horses?  Is colt-friend the correct term?

I can't figure this out.  I need you professionals, lol. 

As well, this Sunburst/Roseluck arc will be one of the longer continuous arcs we've had in awhile.  It ends this Friday but will have lasted three weeks roughly.

Thanks for the overwhelming help everyone! Your response will be directly shown in an upcoming episode!

Coltfriend much more euphonic than stallionfriend.

If we consider that Celestia does addressees the audience ta the Canterlot wedding as "Mares and Gentlecolts" I think the use of "Coltfriend" is perfectly ok, but "Boyfriend" is still used on the show (The Maud couple)

People generally favor "coltfriend" since it's parallel-ish to "boyfriend" and (most importantly) more euphonious than the alternatives.

Dunno, maybe "studfriend" lol?

Gray

In the show they do use the terms boyfriend and girlfriend

Yeah, personally I think "coltfriend" would be equivalent to "fillyfriend" and "stallionfriend" would pair with "marefriend". But "coltfriend" seems to be much more widely used.

Well the human equivalent is girl/boyfriend, despite their age. I'd say colt-friend is acceptable Edit: clarification: all young boys in the show were referred to as colts, and their word usage implies that colt is roughly equivalent to boy, or at least "male of any age that isn't yet an adult"
