    It is said that in olden days any woman could jump up ,h, behind a man on a horse even though the horse was moving. One day in Ballinrobe, a number of British were u boasting about what they could do. A man named Ryan from Corthom came to them and he bet he could leave his hand on a horse's back and jump the horse. The soldiers bet a pound against him. He jumped the horse and got the pound.
