    Folklore .
    When a person sells a horse at a fair he will not part with the halter for it is said he would be parting with his luck. A grey horse without a black spot is said to carry the life of a man.
    If a person suffering from chin cough and meet a man riding on a white horse and what ever cure he will give you it will be a sure cure.
