HALP! My cow doesn't go down the stairs!!?
Neither will a horse - they will go up, but they will REFUSE to go down! I believe this is true of donkeys and mules as wellConsider this: If YOU were a horse, (or cow or similar hoofed animal), you would probably feel secure climbing a staircase, but when you turned around and looked down - OMG!!! I would be scared witless, as I'm sure the creatures would be too! I hope the porch isn't so high that you can't build a ramp for it, or else you'll be pitching hay, shoveling {$} and milking her until it's time to butcher herunlless you can get a crane to lift her off!
