I suppose it depends how far back in the world of evolution you want to go.

My immediate thought would be "of course NO".

Thinking more about it makes me wonder though...

We humans does not look much like pigs and still we share 98% (or thereabouts) of the genes with pigs.

I would still say no though.

It would not be practical to actually suggest a relationship with horses.

A Horse can however be a Guinea Pig, but that is a play of words meaning that the horse is a test animal for something.
