Note the irregularity. 



A horse fed at 4 a.m. leaves the 

 stable at 5 a.m., and may return 

 to the second feed at 8 a.m., and 

 then not get a third feed until 

 3-4 p.m. Watering is done at 

 a trough on leaving the stable, 

 and horses which only go out at 

 7 a.m. get no water until then.
