Horses have two main defenses, their teeth and their hooves. Hooves can be used to kick or strike out at other horses/people/animals and the jaw can be used in a lunging motion, almost like a snake, to lock on the to offending creature and bite (this hurts a lot. If a horse ever threatens to bite you, get away from it immediately!)
When two stallions fight, they use their teeth and front hooves to attack each other. They will always go front on.
When two mares fights, they kick out with their back legs, which also causes a lot of damage!
