- The horses in my district are always tied in stables in the Winter-time.
The stables are about seven yards wide and ten yards long with a boarded partition between each horse.
They are foddered with hay, oats, turnips, mangolds, cracked-oats, and plenty of water to drink after a hard day's work.
When they lose a shoe they are brought immediately to the black-smith in case of sand getting up in their hoofs.
Most of the farmers have a clippers of their own and they clip them all over or sometimes trace-length.
