This might be a double definition.

'they' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.

The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for colts that I've seen before include "Young male horses" , "Young stallions" , "young players" .)
