Adam Clarke, on Neh 3:28

“And upward from the horse gate the priests built, every man over against his house.”

“The horse gate - The place through which the horses passed in order to be watered; It was near the temple. Some rabbins suppose that in order to go to the temple, a person might go on horseback to the place here referred to, but then was obliged to alight, as a horse could pass no farther. Horses were never very plentiful in Jerusalem.”
