my horse has allways been with goats and my friend keeps hers with goats too...only issue is feeding... if your horse is usually calm but has the potential to be a hot head then make sure you pen up the goats when feeding...

When I fed one day I didnt lock up the goats because they were on the other side of the pasture....when they realized the horses were eating they came running an got in the buckets... I grabbed a whip to shoo them off but my horse beat me to it... he grabbed one goat by the shoulders and litteraly tossed him six foot up in the air...

Other then this one incident they have always lived perfect together! Just keep up seperate at dinner time! lol

goats are great with horses. we have sheep and llamas as well. just becareful some goats really like to eat tails! and they are good at escaping.

I think it depends on the horses, too. Our stallion is in a pen with alpacas and has never hurt them... not many stallions you could do that with! :) He's amazing!
