Once the Butlers had a famous horse which was kept in Thornpark. One day when Mr. Butler was in Galway a man got the loan of the horse and while he had him the horse dropped dead and the man did not know what he was to do. Mr Butler was sent for and he approached the horse, the animal groaned and jumped up. He lived for years afterwards.
