Simply put, overtime, the jaw grew as more and more teeth were added as the horse developed from a small carnivore to a larger herbivore who needed more and more grinding teeth (which are larger than sharp carnivore teeth). As the horse grew in size and ate different foods, the horse's jaw grew as well.
