Long ago lived a man by the side of the lake in Loughrea. He got up early every morning to give a drink to his horses. One morning he saw a lovely foal grazing by the lake. The man tried to catch him but he jumped into the lake. The next morning he came again and the foal was there and the man stole up and caught him and brought him home. In time he grew to be a lovely race horse, and the man ran him at the races of Knockbarren and he won every time. When the man was taking him how he saw the lake and he pulled his head out of the bridle. He took seven springs to the lake and jumped in. There are seven spring wells everywhere he hit the ground between Knockbarren and Loughrea.
