Pharisees Riding Horses (Suffolk)

hag stone

A belief in the existence of ‘Pharisees’ or ‘Fairies,’ prevails; they ride young horses about in the night, so that the grooms on going into the stables in the morning &id the horses all in a foam. But a hag stone, with a hole through, tied to the key of the stable door, protects the horses. The New Suffolk Garland, p. 179.
