Horse's teeth are considered to be longer than what you might consider their teeth to be due to their diet. Their teeth are "big" so that they can efficiently rip up grass to eat. Wild horses evolved to have large teeth for the previous mentioned reason as well as for protection. Wild Stallions (Male Horses) use their teeth (as well as hooves) to protect themselves from predators as well as to fight other stallions for mares (female horses) Hope This Helps!
