    ass, sheep and the pig.
    We usually call the horse Dick. When driving him we say "Go on Dick". The house for him is called the stable. It is built of stones and cement and roofed with concrete iron. He is tied with a head-collar. Some people tie them round the neck but they are never tied by the legs. The head-collar is made of leather and it was made at home. The horse is fed with hay and oats. He is shod at the forge. There is a machine called a horse clippers it takes the hair of him in Winter.
