horse-faced

Elongated, narrow visage

Horse-faced describes someone with a long, narrow face resembling a horse's—prominent jaw, elongated features, perhaps large teeth.

The term is unflattering and usually unkind: a horse-faced woman with a thin-lipped smile.

It reduces a person's appearance to equine comparison.
