13.3.4.4

aśvaśaphena dvitīyāmāhutiṃ juhoti paśavo vā ekaśaphā rudraḥ sviṣṭakṛtpaśū>

The second oblation he offers on a horse-hoof; for the one-hoofed (animals) are cattle, and the Svishtakrit is Rudra: he thus shields the cattle from Rudra, whence Rudra does not prowl after the cattle where this oblation is offered at the Asvamedha.
