He traced her to Buttevant and from the on to the Curragh but he knew that he could not rescue her so he thought of a plan. He dressed himself as a stable hand and changed his appearance and went to look for work in The Curragh. He became friendly with an Irish officer who succeeded in getting work for him as a stable hand. He worked for three months thinking of a plan to escape with his mare and at the end of these three months his chance came.
   An English regiment issued a challenge to The Curragh regiment to hold a racing and jumping competition at The Curragh between English and Irish horses. The English regiment had a famous English bred mare which had won fame in England for her feats of jumping and racing and it was on her account largely that they issued the challenge because they thought the Irish would have no one to beat her. The Officers at the Curragh knew that the gray mare would beat the English bred mare if they had some one to ride her because she would let no one at the Curragh ride her.
