Cows kick by swinging their hind leg forward; horses kick that way, or by kicking backward with one or both legs, or by sitting back on their hind legs, and flicking their front legs forward. They also bite, having both upper and lower teeth, head butt and stand up on their hind legs and strike with their fore legs. Doing anything with horses is more hazardous than working with cattle. Bleed them first, to weaken them, then try to milk 'em. Better y.et, shoot 'em and can 'em.
