Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq tells about the types of horse drinking used a hundred years ago and says:
There are many types of drugs that facilitate the animal, but Barbados patience is popular, which is preferred for the ease of administration and because its quantity is well known, and patience is easy to confirm, and it is less dangerous than others, so it is ground and then kneaded with soap to facilitate swallowing and prepared with one amount of soap for two patience, and the amount varies from four grams to Nine, and the body is from five to six, and the horses that are used for riding, hunting and traction need from seven to eight grams, and purebred horses need from six to nine, but if they are in work, they need nine grams, and the horses with a weak chest and a slim body need less than the horses with Onyx cabbage.
And what kind of medicine, if given a solid called a balla, and the pouba must be repeated, soft and the size of a chicken’s egg, and the one who gives the rivet must stand in front of the animal and hold the animal’s tongue with its left hand and pull it slightly out and to the side, and place the slob with his right hand cleverly above the inner end of the tongue and then The mouth is closed and the head raised until the pooch sees it passing through the throat. If swallowing is not possible, the animal must be given water to drink, so it pushes the pooch in front of it.
And many workers cannot give the pond, and some of them do not improve the process, causing great harm to the animal, such as wounding the tongue or the mouth, and with the multiplicity of this harm to the animal, it is used to startle if it wants to hold its mouth for any other reason.
To further clarify this, the intestines must be prepared two or three days before the swallow, so that the animal should eat the apostasy, the hay and the grain, and if it can pass, it will be for a day, then that is sufficient for its preparation, and the apostasy must be given, whether hot or cold, according to what the animal likes, and a quantity of Water, and it should go in the morning and evening, and a small amount of hay should be given at night, and if it is a cola, a muzzle must be put on it. As for the animals that do not accept apostasy and do not drink a lot and do not accept exercise in abundance, only a little feed is given, and in the morning on the second day, a pond is given. On an empty stomach.
