The Horse 5 Point
of View in Winter

If horse could talk, he would have
many things to say especially when
winter comes.
He would tell his driver how a
frosty bit stings and scars his lips and
tongue when it is thrust into his mouth
without being warmed first.
- He would tell how it feels to have
nothing but ice cold water to drink,
when he is already shivering from the
cold.
He would tell of the bitter winds
that frosts his sides when he halts,
steaming from exertion, and is tied for
hours, in an exposed place without a
blanket.
He would tell of slippey streets, and
the sensations of falling on cruel city
cobblestones pressure of the load
pushing him to the fall, the bruised
knees and wrenched joints, the tight
ened straps and the feel of the drivers
lash. the painting noStrils and heaving
flanks, and the horrible fright of it
all.
Think of your own feelings if you
were struck every time you slipped or
stumbled.
Warm the bit before putting it in
his mouth.
Take the chill off his drinking water
when possible, if it is cold.
Give him enough to eat, and spread
plenty Of clean bedding in his stall.
Put a blanket on him in the stable,
on cold nights
Do not leave him standing in a GOLD
wind without a blanket Keep him in
the sun If possible.
Keep him sharp-shod during the
winter.
Drive him carefully over Icy pave
ments.
When he falls. quickly loosen his
harness, push back the wagon, and
help him to rise, without blows
Watch for the appearance of gall
spots, and allow nothing to touch them
till healed.
