yes goats can help calm horses, pretty much any farm type animal will calm a horse, you just have to be careful they may chew the horses tail up to where they cant reach anymore, so i dont suggest putting a goat with a show horse. goats and horses can be great companions, and the goats breaks the cycle of worms that attack horses. These worms don't do anything to the goat.

No. Sheep and goats are close enough species-wise and if you cross them you get what is called a shoat. But horses and goats are too far apart genetically for a successful cross.

Do horses get along with cows sheep and goats?

Ok very good question. I have two horses. I also have cows, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, and 2 farm dogs. 1. Horses and cows are NOT good pasture buddies because: Horses are grass-strippers. They rip out the grass, roots and all, instead of "trim" the grass. Cows are grass-trimmers. They graze the top of the grass, instead of ripping out the grass, roots and all. EXACT opposites. So never put cows and horses int he same pasture together. 2. Horses and goats are fine. Horses stick to eating the grass, while the goats eat the breyers, tree bark, and all of the plants that are poisanous to horses. Perfect match. 3. Horses and chickens. NOPE. Simple. Horses and chickens=horses accidently crush chickens. Trust me, I have experience. 4. Horses and sheep are okay together. I wouldn't recommend it, but, if nothing else is possible, it will work. 5. Horses do well with any other type of Equine. Meaing donkeys, mules, etc. 6. And if you are wondering wether horses get ALONG with other farm animals, well, horses are moody creatures. Trustworthy, kind, and curious, but sometimes moody. SO occasaionally your horse might try to take a snap at your goat or something if he gets mad, or even if he just feels like it. But horses are very companionable animals, so they will get along with pretty much any anilmal, unless that animal gets on their nerves. I hope I answered your question!
