Zdravo!

Can anyone tell me is this a horse tooth or maybe a bison tooth?

Yes, it is bovid, but it can be hard to figure out if it's Cow or Bison. Think they can be identified by looking at the Stylid (the extra "lobe" in the center of your second picture), but i don't dare to guess.

 

Looking as this tooth is from the Netherlands, most Bison (Wisent) teeth here are found coming from the North-sea deposits and have a darker color from being in the water for a long time.

Just the fact that this tooth is very light-colored makes me put my money on cow.
