This day I discovered how the Indians keep their horses during the winter. In
the day-time they are permitted to run out and gather what they can; and at night
are brought into the lodges, with the natives themselves, and fed upon cottonwood
branches; and in this way are kept in tolerable case.—Gass (p. 96).
