No they are not in the same family. Horses are equdis while deer (cloven hooved) are more closely related to cows. Not all hooved animals are related to each other.

∙ 10y agoDeer are not as closely related to horses as they are to cattle. Horses have an odd number of toes (one) on each leg while deer and cattle have an even number on each leg. Odd and even toes is one way to describe the relatedness of hoofed mammals.

Deer and cattle are more closely related than goats and cattle.
What are goats related to?
Goats are related to sheep for obvious reasons such as hoofs and horns, tails and fur (wool) but some think they are related to deer (more than they are to sheep) because deer have the same tail and they grow horns and they also have hooves while sheep have wool and deer have fur but goats don't have wool they have fur. Goats could also be related to horses through the hooves gene but that would be a short scientific reason why. We all originate from something!

"A deer is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. A number of broadly similar animals, from related families within the order Artiodactyla, are often also called deer." The above answer is from Wikipedia. Deer family animals have split hoofs, equine family have a single hoof. Deer are more closely related to goats, sheep and cows than to horses not only due to the feet, but due to their digestive system.
