And of smaller folk tell we.
De Avenario[[274]]
The avener shall provender wisely ordain,
All the lord’s horses to maintain.
They shall have two cast[[275]] of hay,
A peck of provender in a day.
Every horse shall so much have,
At rack and manger that stands with staff.[[276]]
There is a master of horses, a squire,
Under him avener and farrier.
