Horses and mules pulled the boats through the canals. Ropes were attached to the boats and tied on the animals, who walked alongside the canals.

Do horses get along with cows sheep and goats?

Ok very good question. I have two horses. I also have cows, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, and 2 farm dogs. 1. Horses and cows are NOT good pasture buddies because: Horses are grass-strippers. They rip out the grass, roots and all, instead of "trim" the grass. Cows are grass-trimmers. They graze the top of the grass, instead of ripping out the grass, roots and all. EXACT opposites. So never put cows and horses int he same pasture together. 2. Horses and goats are fine. Horses stick to eating the grass, while the goats eat the breyers, tree bark, and all of the plants that are poisanous to horses. Perfect match. 3. Horses and chickens. NOPE. Simple. Horses and chickens=horses accidently crush chickens. Trust me, I have experience. 4. Horses and sheep are okay together. I wouldn't recommend it, but, if nothing else is possible, it will work. 5. Horses do well with any other type of Equine. Meaing donkeys, mules, etc. 6. And if you are wondering wether horses get ALONG with other farm animals, well, horses are moody creatures. Trustworthy, kind, and curious, but sometimes moody. SO occasaionally your horse might try to take a snap at your goat or something if he gets mad, or even if he just feels like it. But horses are very companionable animals, so they will get along with pretty much any anilmal, unless that animal gets on their nerves. I hope I answered your question! If you have any other questions concerning horses, e-mail me at horse4adrien@yahoo.com. Thanks!
