Gender -> Sex
Currently, the show creation page and horse info pages use the term "gender," which is incorrect -- they should use "sex." Gender is a social construct, a collection of behaviors and such deemed feminine/masculine. Sex is genetic, determined primarily by genitalia, gonads, and such. Animals do not have a gender (unless they're owned by one of those ridiculous people who insist on dressing their dogs in gendered ways...).

Re: Gender -> Sex
While you are likely correct from a technical standpoint. I would prefer not to use the term sex. Google apparently has some pretty strict regulations when it comes to sites children access, and even more so when you use their adsense and adwords advertising services.
