    told him no matter what happened not to speak as they were riding across a country, they came to the Boyne and he saw them all jumping, and he was wondering if his horse could jump it, as he was a big man and they were all small, so he said nothing. The horse followed the rest and landed in Morningtown the man could not resist from speaking and he said. "You are the best horse ever rode in my life" And as soon as he spoke he was left standing in a field with a lot off bultrans round him so he had to walk home.
