Wild horses wear their teeth down the same way normal horses do... by eating! Just like captive horses, when they eat grass (or hay for normal horses) they chew the food by grinding their teeth. This grinding causes their teeth to wear down.

To keep a horses teeth healthy you should first have a veterinarian or equine dentist look at the horses teeth at least once a year, during this check up the teeth may need to be rasped or floated to make them smooth again. Sometimes the dentist may need to remove a tooth that is broken.

To help keep a horses teeth healthy you should feed them at ground level, this allows them eat in a natural grazing posture, which causes their jaw to drop forward aligning the teeth better than eating above ground level. This helps the teeth wear down evenly.
