| Running carrier services efficiently involved considerable expenditure on horses together with their equipment and provender. |
| This possibility was very real, for the amount of provender they bore would not have fed them for more than a week. |
| Current costs consisted of provender, i.e. fodder and bedding, the pay of the workers who looked after the horses, and shoeing. |
| We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. |
| As the rocket and purslane disappeared, I began to forage Greenmarket for fall provender. |
| The children refuse all human food until they are given newly shelled beans, upon which provender they subsist until they learn to eat bread. |
