One day a man was going to the mountain for his horse as he required him to do some work at home.

When he went up to the mountain he saw all the horses feeding along the side of a lough.

When he came close to them he saw a lovely little water horse so he caught it and took it home and tamed it.

When he had it tamed he took it up to the mountain with his own horse.

When he was going past the lough the old water horse put up its head in the middle of the horse so that the tamed water horse jumped in suddenly with the man on its back.

Not being used in the water for a long time it came out again so the man got off its back.

Then it disappeared and never was seen again.

The lough referred to in the above story is in the townland of Croaghbrack.

It is called Lough Kilrailway [sic] and it is about a mile from Lough Derg.

There are water horses still to be seen as Lough Kilraway [sic]."]]>
