Best Answer

No. seahorses are sea-dwelling fish that are 10-20cm long. Horses are mammals that live on the land and are much, much bigger.

Seahorses are only called seahorses because of the horse-like appearance of their head and because they live in the ocean.

Sea Horses are not related to horses but they are called sea horses, one because they live in the sea and two because their heads look like miniature horses heads.
