Horses Path Down Cliffs

This may have been reported before - I heard that it worked this way last world as well, but couldn't find information on it.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Be riding a horse, with a rope in inventory.
    2. Go to a thicket with a sufficiently long cliff passing through it.
    3. Dismount the horse. (The horse should now be leashed.)
    4. Climb the cliff and walk away, so that the horse will path to you.
    5. Notice that the horse will first try to path directly to you. If there is no thicket between you and the horse, it will move to the thicket, where it will then cross the cliff (over thicket terrain) just as a bird would.

So far, I have only seen this happen with domesticated horses. Not wild ones. But I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work with a clovered wildhorse.

I would post a gif if I could, but the person that told me of this is a fellow villager, and I don't want to doxx our location. Thanks for taking a look!
Howdy!

Already semi-publicly known for half a year.
RoB-wiki: "Thicket can't be traversed while riding a domesticated horse or with a horse pulled wagon. But a leased horse will follow across thicket. This includes following across cliffs covered by thicket."

... Probably intentional to not have to path-find around cliffs.
