what choices !? Hayroll´s and pasture
grass in the hard time around 1780 and forward
into the 1800 and longer the people keept the
herring for themself not giving any horse anything
around 1750-1830(little iceage ) the population
of people went from 50.000 down to 25.000
(starwed to death )and the horses that where left
after it was only 3000 they think and for long
time after that horses was not feed anything from
human hand only the riding/working horse that was
keept in the stable during winter for transportation.
