    They are tied by the necks. People hand Sacred heart Badges or medals in the cow-house. The horses are tied in the stable with chains. The horses food is oats, straw, and hay. The horse eats out of a manger. The blacksmith shoes the horses. The farmer clips the mane of the horse with a hair clippers. There are no stories told of famous horses in olden times.
