    not to be tied
    When people are milking the cows they sing or jig to keep the cows quite and when this is done the cows yield more milk.
    We have four strong horses and they do all the work of the farm. We shoe the horses at home My father has an onvil in the barn. We also clip the horses at home.
    The stable is kept clean we clean it out every morning I put fresh straw under the horses. We have two horses called Dandy and Paddy.
    They are very tame and will come to the gate of the field when called.
