a baby horse so leggy it stands within an hour, all wobble and ambition
means A young male horse, typically under four years old and not yet fully grown.
from From Old English 'colt,' which first meant a young donkey or camel before it settled onto horses — its deeper roots are uncertain, though it may be related to words suggesting something young, swollen, or budding. The same sense of friskiness gave us 'colt-ish' for awkward youthful energy. The famous revolver shares the name only by coincidence: that's Samuel Colt, the inventor's surname.
