Can horses have sore TMJ's?

The answer is YES.  And it stems from problems with their teeth.  When their molars are not in contact, they will bite down harder to try to chew and that stresses the TMJ.  Over time the joint becomes sore and then the horse doesn't want to chew as well and you get more problems even with digestion.
Have a knowledgeable dentist or veterinarian check your horse's teeth at least once a year.
