Summary

A man who healed his horse's broken back with a willow wand.

A man was using an old mare to take home peats. Her back broke but he mended it with a wand of willow and left her there. The next time he was on the hill, he saw a willow thicket growing out of the mare's back. He took her home, cut off all the wands, and made them into a creel and used it for the peats.
