These two animals were originally servants who, because of indebtedness, were reduced to working animals.

During the summer, Russian noble families prefer to stay in their urban mansions, in cities animated by festivals, events and musical and theatrical performances.
Young people want to go to dances and social events to start dating and make friends. Urban palaces are full of residents and guests, excited by events and parties.
One of the farm's foremen was called by the feudal lord to take care of the maintenance and repairs of the palace and its gardens. The image shows the foreman arriving at the summer palace, accompanied by his wife, an assistant and some work animals.
He brought a horse and two pack animals from the farm to work in the gardens. These two animals were originally servants who, because of indebtedness, were reduced to working animals. The Foreman, to signal the humiliation of those beings, ordered them to cut off their tongues and not dress as men, so that there would be no misunderstandings.
They began to live in the stables, tied up like cows, oxen and pigs. In decades treated in this way, neither they nor anyone else on the farm found these special animals strange.
Like horses, they needed protections on their hind legs, which in this case were just cotton and leather bands to protect the soles of their legs. Like other animals, they were commanded with short orders and lashes. These two beasts were no more than that, animals of the lord of the farm.
