They don't. No quadruped (four-legged) animal has four knees.

The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist. The real knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint. These are often found close to the animal's belly.
