At Jackpot Veterinary Center, we’re passionate about equine health—and understanding the unique anatomy of horses plays a big role in how we care for them. Let’s take a closer look at one of the most remarkable parts of a horse: its skull!
🔍 Structure
The horse’s skull is made up of 34 bones, including the frontal bone, parietal bone, incisive bone, maxillary bone, and mandible. It’s divided into two sections: the cranium and the jaw, which work together to protect vital organs and enable movement.
🦷 Teeth
Horses have between 36–44 teeth, including incisors, cheek teeth, and, in males, canine teeth. These teeth grow about 1/8 inch per year, with baby teeth replaced by age 5. This constant growth is why regular dental care is essential for your horse’s health!
👀 Eyes
Ever notice how far back a horse’s eyes are? This placement is typical for grazing animals, giving them a wide field of vision to spot potential threats.
🍴 Chewing Patterns
Horses chew in a unique side-to-side figure 8 pattern—an efficient method for breaking down fibrous plant material.
⚖️ Weight and Bone Density
A 1000-pound horse’s head weighs around 40 pounds, or 4% of its total body weight. Their skulls are incredibly dense, reflecting the strength and resilience needed for their lifestyle.
💨 Sinuses
The skull contains six delicate sets of air-filled sinuses. These chambers, surrounded by intricate, lacy bone, play an important role in a horse’s breathing and overall health.
From dental exams to sinus care, our team at Jackpot Veterinary Center is here to help keep your horses healthy and thriving. Want to learn more about equine care?
