No. They're in the same kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, and order Perissodactyla. But horses are in the Equidae family, and rhinoceros in the Rhinocerotidae.

Are Rhino's the same species as Horses?

No, Rhino's are not the same species or even closely related to Horses. Rhino's are related to Elephants and Manatees, while horses are related to Zebras and at a more distant relation, Antelopes and Pronghorns....While technically correct;While the previous entry is technically correct (all being in the same genus, equus) the odd-toed ungulates (meaning "hoofed animal), order perissodactyla; include horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs. Perissodactyla are catorgorized as being mammals with feet that are symmetrical from the third toe. This, simply stated, is a fact that Rhinos and Horses do share a special genetic likeness, making them much more closely related than anyone may have imagined.
