Halakhah for Shabbat 5:1

בַּמֶּה בְּהֵמָה יוֹצְאָה וּבַמָּה אֵינָהּ יוֹצְאָה. יוֹצֵא הַגָּמָל בְּאַפְסָר, וְנָאקָה בַחֲטָם, וְלֻבְדְּקִיס בִּפְרֻמְבְּיָא, וְסוּס בְּשֵׁיר, וְכָל בַּעֲלֵי הַשֵּׁיר יוֹצְאִים בַּשֵּׁיר וְנִמְשָׁכִים בַּשֵּׁיר, וּמַזִּין עֲלֵיהֶן וְטוֹבְלִין בִּמְקוֹמָן:

With what may a beast go out (on the Sabbath)? [For a man is commanded vis-à-vis the resting of his beast on the Sabbath. And something with which the beast is guarded is not considered a burden; and something with which it is not guarded is considered a burden.] A camel goes out with a rein; a na'akah (a longnecked camel) [The gemara states: specifically, a white one, which requires greater guarding], with a chatam [They take an iron ring, pierce the camel's nose, and insert it.]; a Libyan ass [which is especially tough and strong and requires greater guarding than other domestic asses], with an iron rein; a horse, with a sher [a kind of band around its neck, with a ring, through which a rope is inserted and by which the beast is pulled.] And all sher animals [such as hunting dogs and small animals] go out with the sher [around their necks, with the rope fixed in the sher], and are pulled by the sher [i.e., if he wishes, he pulls the beast by the rope in the sher], and they are sprinkled upon (in place) [i.e., as they are, on the animal's neck, if they have incurred dead-body uncleanliness], and they are immersed in place. [The animal is placed in the water to immerse the sher. And even though it is ruled that all articles unique to a beast do not acquire uncleanliness, the sher and its like do acquire uncleanliness and require immersion. Since they are made for a man to lead the animal with, they are regarded as an article made for man's use.]

Peninei Halakhah, Women's Prayer

The Sages further ordained that kiddush be recited over wine during the day, just before the morning meal. By beginning the meal with kiddush, it is apparent that this meal is significant and special, and it reminds us of the holiness of Shabbat. Since the basis of the obligation of the daytime kiddush is rabbinic, no special berakha was instituted in honor of Shabbat; only Ha-gafen is recited, though verses relating to Shabbat are customarily recited beforehand. The Shabbat-day kiddush is called “Kidusha Rabba” (the “great kiddush”) euphemistically, as the nighttime kiddush is more important (see Peninei Halakha: Shabbat 5:1-3 for more on these laws).
