You can walk Never Mind the usual time this evening; 

 give him two quarts of water and the mash, in lieu of his 

 regular feed of grain. Give only what hay you can span

 In the morning, give him one quart of oats when the other 

 horses are fed, no water; and as soon as he finishes the 

 grain, replace the muzzle. I will be here in good season, 

 to give further directions.
