: D Superb illustrations today, Dana! I just knew Marigold was gonna rock those roller skates! (And… if I were Phoebe, I’d really want to ride her while she did that.)
Having four legs makes for greater stability. When walking an equine always has three feet on the ground which is a stable tripod. Humans must always be working to remain upright, even when not moving, while a horse can actually sleep standing up.The bipedal gate with its inherent instability also has much greater agility. If Phoebe could roller skate they could learn to use their individual advantages in a complimentary manor. If Phoebe learned a some gymnastic vaulting techniques, they could put on quite a show.
War horses had no problem with stairs. The most famous Hike battle in Japan was mounted, and going down a nearly upright slope. And the reason so many early churches in Jerusalem have these low doors is so that invaders couldn’t ride the war horses in and out of the church.

I think horses are probably physically capable of going down stairs, but don’t know it.

It’s hard to express how happy the thought of a unicorn on rollerskates makes me.
