There are some mistaken in vogue with regard watering a horse. Th fear of foundering him by watering at the wrong time often leads to real, though, of course, unin tentional cruelty. Feeding a horse principally on grain and driving him several hours witho water is according to a current para graph, like giving a an salt mackerel for dinner a compelling him to go without a drink till supper time. at would be thought re severe treatment yet the or horse, which cannot grumble or crave pity in his suffering is often served in at unfeeling way.
