Anatomy: Horns

No, I'm not talking about cattle here. Horses do really have horns! They are just...not the normal type of horns. :)

The type of horns that horses do have are technically "frontal skull bosses". Or you can just call them horns. Either way.

Certain horse breeds (and also individual horses) have more prominent horns than others. Nolia, for example, has larger horns than Spirit (the buckskin).

Here are pictures of where and what a horn is. :)
