No. The hippopotamus is not very closely related to horses, although of course both species are mammals. The hippopotamus is a type of even-toed ungulate and is thus more closely related to camels, cows, and pigs, than it is to horses. Horses technically do not have toes, but the hoof of a horse is equivalent to a highly developed toenail of a single toe, making horses a kind of odd toed ungulate.
