    and anybody would not ride him.
    One of the men that was standing by said that he would get a woman that would ride the horse. He searched the fair and he found the woman. They put down a bet that she would ride the horse and the bet was a gallon of whisky. She mounted the horse and rode him a few miles off and back again to Killorglin. The people that put down the bet won it and the gallon of whisky was divided between them.
    My grandfather told me this May Sullivan.
