No, horses are herd animals, and it is very stressful for them to not be around other horses, or at least some other companion animal. Without some form of a herd, the horse will often not sleep, because with no herd he has no protection or warming of a predator, so he must be on watch 24/7. they may develop stomach ulcers from stress, and these can be life-threatening.
However, some horses cannot be with other horses because they are overly aggresive towards them, never letting him eat or be with the herd, and in these cases you may have to remove him from these horses. If possible, look for kinder horses, but you may also choose a different animal for his companion. While they have been known to befriend cats and dogs, most other companion animals are cows, sheep, llamas, goats and other herd-animal herbivores.

Should a horse be kept alone or should i get two to keep the other company?
Horses are herd animals. They are extremely social with other horses and do not develop as many vices as horses that are kept alone. The only time I would recommend keeping a horse alone is if it does not get along well with other horses. In this case the owner would need to spend extra time with the horse so it gets the socializing that it needs. If you only need one horse and would get another for the sole purpose of company, think about getting a small pasture mate, such as a miniature horse, goat, sheep, or llama. They can be great friends for the horses, but are not quite as expensive to keep.
