40 pieces

Adult male horses typically have a total of 40 teeth—counting upper and lower, left and right. A horse’s teeth are divided into incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Males, in particular, have more developed canine teeth than females, and the presence of these canines accounts for the difference in tooth count. Female horses generally have 36 teeth because their canines are not developed, whereas males have four additional canine teeth, bringing the total to 40. By examining the number and characteristics of the teeth, you can to some extent determine a horse’s sex and age.
