    3. Horses are tied by a leather strap which goes round their heads and which is called a head-collar and tied to a hook in the manger. Horses eat oats and hay. Straw and rushes and hay are put under horses for bedding. Horses are tied by tying their right hind leg and their right front leg together and that is called a "side lang". Sometimes the horse's front legs are tied together and that is called a "búthín". Every horse has four shoes on his four feet. A horse shoe is hung up on the wall in some houses. The horse shoe is covered with silver paper. Horse-shoes are made of iron. Hoes draw carts and heavy loads.
