A horse mill is a mill, sometimes used in conjuntion with a watermill or windmill, that uses a horse as the power source. Any milling process can be powered in this way, but the most frequent use of animal power in horse mills was for grinding grain and pumping water. Other animal engines for powering mills are powered by dogs, donkeys and oxen. Treadwheels are engines powered by humans. In Antwerp, Belgium, the Brewers' House museum〔(Museum Brouwershuis )〕 is a good example of horse-powered pumping machinery. The building dates from the 16th century; although the original wooden machinery was replaced in cast iron in the mid-19th century, the original layout has been retained. ==Gallery== Image:Horsegin.jpg|The Horse Mill at Wester Kittochside Farm near Glasgow Image:Coconut oil making Seychelles.jpg|A bullock-powered mill, Seychelles Image:High Atlas-The olive grinding mill (js).jpg|The olive grinding mill, High Atlas (Morocco) Image:Batteuse 1881.jpg|A horse-powered threshing machine.
