Why do horses not have horns?

All horses have tails. To begin with anyway. Appaloosas have very sparse, wispy manes and tails and I have seen some with just a tail(bone) with no hair at all. On occasion due to injury or illness a horse may have part or all of his tail removed. Grays are prone to skin cancer on the dock (base of tail) and the skin under the tail. To save their lives some tails have to be removed.

They aren't necessary for a rabbit to have. Instead of boxing like male deers do, rabbits hop, growl, and bite each other for the female.

Rabbits could have horns IF you believe in Jackalopes!

It has been "bred out" of them by fusing genetics from other breeds--like Angus--to create cattle of this breed that are dominantly polled. The old Durham shorthorn breed--the heritage breed of Shorthorn cattle--still have horns, and some shorthorns still have the horn gene, but due to safety concerns and market demands Shorthorns are bred to be naturally polled, not horned, despite the breed name.

Horses are part of the Perissodactyl order. This means they don't have bone core to create horns. :)
