Horn-only mounts?

I wonder is there fang.
In the same place as a stud horse fighting teeth/ bridal teeth?

I have only seen one horse skull with the fighting teeth. But yes, it appeared to be very similar to the Zebra skull in that regard.
 
I have a carved kudu horn lamp

Most people take them out.
If it’s a using horse.
We left our studs alone and had them in the pasture for there job.
I all ways used mares for riding only had one gelding and got him because he was a big horse 18 hands and about 1300 lbs jughead.
And someone desided to ride him through a patch of Russian thistle.
Well the stickers hit him in his dangling bits and he broke the guy’s shoulder.
 
Headed to RSA for a PG hunt in May and am working on my Taxidermy plan. I have low ceilings in my house and the Mrs isn’t big on European mounts with the skulls. For my North American animals I typically do a simple antler/horn mount on a small plaque. Does anyone do this for African trophies? Is this “frowned upon” by PHs or others? It isn’t a money thing, more about what we like in our home on the walls.

Targeted species are Kudu, Water buck, Zebra, Gemsbok, wildebeest.

I would still plan to get a Warthog (European mount) and Zebra rug if I am lucky enough.

Appreciate your feedback and comments (positive or negative).
Down here in fl skull cap antlers mounts were the norm unless someone mounted one.
I did not see European mounts until the 90s
 
Skull cap mounts look fine, in my opinion. I also like 375Fox's idea of the corner post with the Kudu horn. Other options for your consideration might include a lamp or wall sconce incorporating the horn from a Kudu or Gemsbok. Or just mount the horn itself on the wall at an angle where it looks good to you. I was at a lodge in Europe once where parts of one wall were decorated with shed antlers from a Rot Hirsch (Red Stag) which had been slightly polished and hung horizontally. Looked great!
