They can live in the same environment, but pet rabbits should not be in the same pen as a horse. If you were thinking that you could put a rabbits' hutch in the same area as a horse, then that is acceptable, but for fear of them being trampled, keep them separated.

Yes, technically they can. The only difference would likely be the protein levels being fed. Rabbits tend to require slightly higher amounts of protein, roughly 16%, while a horse can get by on 10 to 14% (higher if pregnant/lactating). However you can feed a rabbit a lower protein hay so long as you supplement the hay with a 16% protein pelleted feed. It is typically cheaper to buy hay marketed to horses as you'll get more hay for your money than buying tiny 'rabbit' sized bales and blocks.

The pellet food for rabbits? NO

Horses are vegetarians and can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. Talk with your Vet to know which you can feed your specific horse.

No, rabbits should eat rabbit feed, as well as lots of hay and some fresh leafy green vegetables. See the related question for more info.

Horses and rabbits eat mainly hay or grass and can be supplemented with species specific pelleted feeds. It's also good to give them a variety of treats such as certain fruit and vegetables.
