'Crikey' Rescued from Hayloft After Climbing Stairs!

Can horses climb stairs? Absolutely! An intrepid little horse called Crikey in the USA decided he wanted to investigate the hayloft in his barn, so he escaped his stall and climbed the stairs all the way up to the loft. The problem was he got stuck and couldn't get back down and a major rescue had to be mounted.

Crikey is now back on solid ground and is okay, although his owner said he was groggy after the sedative used during his rescue - 'Like he's been at a big Christmas party'.

We love that this intrepid explorer has such a perfect name for his situation, something many Aussies would say if we saw him peering out of the loft window - Crikey!
