Best Answer

Male horses have 42 permanent teeth (the male has 2 canine teeth that the female does not have)
An adult male horse can have between 36 to 44 teeth, This includes 24 cheek teeth,12 incisors, 4 canine teeth, and 4 wolf teeth. However, not all adult male horses have canine teeth and wolf teeth. Likewise, when wolf teeth cause dental problems in a horse, they may need to be surgically removed.
A male horse can have up to 44 teeth.
