You should not keep the dog in the same box stall as your horse as a) there is a potential for the dog to get hurt by being stepped on and B) the dog would pee and defecate in the stall which would soil it and the horse would have no choice bute to sleep in that which would not be healthy nor nice for the horse. So no, it is not recommended.
