  2. We have two stables at home. The floors are paved with stones. They are lofted and there are two mangers in each of them. They pitch the hay from the loft into the rack. The horses eat hay, oats and turnips. My father had a horse named Slaney about sixty years ago. He was a famous hunter. Another horse Parachute lived in our place about one hundred years ago. Oak Jack was also bred in our farm.
