    Deir Tomás go raibh fear sa pharóiste seo go dtugtaí Seán a Tobair air agus leighiseadh sé an galar so a thagann ar chapaill go minic. Seo mar d'aithnigheadh sé ar b'é an fersaí a bheadh ar an gcapall.
    Ar dtuis nuair a thagadh sé do láimhseóleadh sé an capall síos suas agus cuir i gcás go mbeadh aon chnapán ar dhrom an chapaill (nó leac), chuireadh sé draoib buaille anuas ar an gcnapán nú ar an leic. D'imthigheadh sé (Seán) abhaile agus gan dabht shleamhnuigheadh an draoib síos ar chliathán an chapaill. Nuair a thagadh Seán lar na mháireach sé an cheud rud a dheineadh sé ná feuchaint ar na bóithre a dhein an draoib agus má lean an t-at na casáin seo b'shin cómhartha do go raibh an fersaí ar an gcapall agus leis an artha ansan do leigheas sé é.
