tywkiwdbi had this picture of a horse door.
The house door is up the steps, and the street level door on the left is the horse door.

"The horse walk door is the brown one to the left at this house at 7 Leroy Street, a Federal-style beauty built in 1831.

Behind this door is the horse walk, a narrow passageway through which a homeowner’s horse was led from the street to a separate carriage house or stable behind the main house."

He also mentioned the “horse door” is still active, as where the horse used to live is now occupied by people…

That ain’t hay.
