- (continued from previous page)that when he would want the horse to jump anything he should say "High over all". But anyway when he was near Armagh a big river with a ditch on the side opposite appeared. "Beggora she will never jump this". So instead of saying "High over all" he said "Right through all" so excited was he, but the horse jumped through the ditch leaving the man behind and him stuck fast in the ditch. It took the man three hours to get out and three weeks to get back home. So he never said that he was not afraid of the fairies after that.
