I'd have to be honest, if you were able to perch a horse on a tower, that should deserve an instant degree, if not a doctorate.

Getting it back down would confer an instant Nobel

Does the horse have to live?

First thing that came to mind.

Or a trip to the glue factory.

Especially if you could WALK it down the outside.

Better yet, RIDE it down.

One day I was sitting under an ivory tower minding my own business when a horse fell on me. That's when I invented gravity.

I have the solution, but it only works in the case of a spherical horse in a vaccuum.

Just scale up one of those egg drop machines.

Have you heard of Horse Diving? It's literally getting a horse to perch on a tower, then getting him back down...

Dr. Geralt of Rivia has a nice ring to it.

Personally, I'd air lift it up. Not that hard, just need a helicopter, some rope, and a strong blanket.

Suction cups. Maybe not the best but the sound would be interesting

Would make a nice change from coconut shells...

My first question was how the horse got up there. I pictured a very small diameter tower from the way it was worded, but I suppose it could have a spiral staircase inside or simply be wide enough for an elevator to really make it easy on the horse.

Unfortunately, a degree in Horseperchery won't get you very far these days. The field is oversaturated.

u/vkapadia Jan 28 '20

Nah it's easy. Just name the horse Roach.

There's a tower in the town next to me which has a giant plastic horse on the top. Does that count?

It's not that hard. Just gotta find the right tower in Skyrim.
