Brackenagh is the first townland immediately west of Ballinasloe. Re 'grass', I don't know - it just sounds to me that is what Brendan Shine sings. There is no horse breed named 'grass' (as far as I can see) but if you google under 'grass horses' you will find references to the term. It seems to simply refer to horses that are fed on grass! And what about those old horses that have been put out to grass! But you know I could be wrong! Any equine experts out there!
