Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1 (cow): A cow is not the young of a horse, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2 (sheep): A sheep is not related to a horse's young, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3 (herd): A herd is a group of animals, not a young horse, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4 (colt): A colt is a young male horse, which fits the context of a horse watching its young play.
