Horses (of any breed) can have up to 44 teeth, which are broken down in the following way:

12 incisors

24 molars

4 canine teeth (also called 'tushes'), which are only found in stallions/geldings (boy horses)

1-4 'wolf' teeth, which are usually pulled because they interfere with the bit when riding.
