It would depend how long they have been together for, but horses protect each other from predators, and goats are great companions for horses, so I would say yes, they would protect there goat friends from predators.

No, they are of different breeds, the milk would not be able to provide all of the necessary nutrients. However, the two can make good companion animals and there have been cases where orphaned foals have been fostered onto dairy goats.

If the horse is on its own with the Goats and Sheep it may see them as part of its herd and be protective of them - there were instances in the Black Saturday fires in Australia where horses were shielding the goats and sheep in its paddock from the flames.
