Yes. There are 24 deciduous teeth (also known as milk, temporary, or baby teeth). These come out in pairs, and are pushed out later by the permanent teeth. The number of permanent teeth may vary, depending on whether the horse has wolf teeth or canines. Most mares have 36, and most male horses have 40.
