TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:1-27 This vision expands the vision of ch 7, developing additional symbolism regarding the second and third beasts (7:5-6). Its report about a small horn that arises from the goat has similarities with the “little horn” of 7:8, 20-25; the “ruler” of 9:26-27; and the “despicable man” of 11:21-45.

Rams do not have hands. Here hand refers to the ram’s power. Alternate translation: “to rescue anyone from him” or “to rescue anyone from his power”
