No, they do not. but they could have long hairs on their chin, but those are called whiskers or bristols.

Horses do commonly have whiskers, particularly drafts such as Belgians and Clydes. These generally are not thick enough to grow into a beard. Mustaches, on the other hand, are fairly common, depending on the breed and bloodline of the individual horse.

I know two horses who have quite long mustaches. They are both very hairy! One is a bay pony, the other is a pieballed horse-maybe a cob? not sure...

COMMENT: I own a horse with a mustache. She is a Bay cracker horse and is 6 years old. Most everyone who sees her notices and comments on it. It grows rather long, 2-3 inches in length, in the winter months when she gets more hay than grazing. In the summer, with more grazing, it becomes shorter. It doesn't appear to bother her. She also has a blaze shaped like a pipe wrench on her fore head which attracts quite a bit of attention, too! Happy riding, T. Olson
