*Auditory tube opens into the [[Ear - Anatomy & Physiology#Equine Guttural Pouch|guttural pouch]]

The auditory tube opens into the [[Ear - Anatomy & Physiology#Equine Guttural Pouch|guttural pouch]] and the [[Tonsils - Anatomy & Physiology|tonsils]] are diffuse and raised slightly. Horses are unable to breathe through the mouth as the free apex of the rostral epiglottis lies dorsal to the soft palate in a normal horse.
