Cross Species Adoption

There have been cases recorded of new mother dogs adopting orphaned kittens, of pigs adopting orphaned puppies, and similar. But has there ever been a case of say, a horse adopting a goat?

I've never heard of them adopting goats, but I've seen them tend to calves. I think the size of a horse limits them on what would be natural to try and "adopt" compared to other mammals.
