    He went over to the horse to see what size shoe did he want and he noticed that the horse had only three feet.
    He got frightened and he looked at the man.
    The man said, "Don't wonder at what you see." Owen didn't mind then, and he put on the three shoes. He was paid and the man and horse went off.

    He was such a good smith that everyone called him "An Gaba Geal Eógan Ó Máille".
