Would love to share some lore and secrets of the old worlds with you, if you should ever get the time.

@ ye who mentioned the horse creature...sounds like a kelpie to me, although you find them more around water. Some of these creatures are benign and some are not, i.e., the kelpie, which is certainly not something I would want to run into by the water's edge.
it was a very swampy area where they lived, although not far from the coast either.

also, I am in the process of learning Irish Gaelic (not Scottish Gaelic). I'd say I'm nearly 50% fluent. I would recommend a book titled, appropriately, "Learning Irish" by Michael O'Siadhail. the book also has a companion cassette that helps out a lot.
