Rhinos don't naturally lose their horns, but sometimes they knock them off by accident. This can happen if the rhino takes on something much harder than a natural target - like the inside of a transport crate.
The horn will come off at the base, and leave a large, oozing wound. It's probably quite painful, but not life threatening. The horn will grow back, but it'll take years before it's back to a normal size.
Some species(Javan/Indian) has a lot smaller horns than the African species.
The most common reason for a rhino to lose its horns is that humans either cut them off (which is hard to do) or they kill then for their horns.
