| Summary: | torbay n These were the small horses the Torbay, and people from Logy Bay, Outer Cove and places nearby drove to Town with fish, splits, etc. While their owners went about their business the nags would be left tied to light-poles, or in some open spot with a hobble on them to keep them from wandering. They nearly always sported a feed bag of oats, on which they would champ away to the benefit of the sparrows and pigeons. They would be tackled into a dray, a long-cart, a box cart, a catamaran, or a light carriage. If the drivers had "taken one too many" during the day, the horses would take the recumbent forms safely home in the heel of the evening.
