A collection of Welsh triads on the subject of special horses that belonged to celebrated heroes of the past, many of them attributed with extraordinary abilities or physical features. The earliest known version is a prose fragment preserved in the Black Book of Carmarthen containing four such triads. The collection is usually found as a distinct group within Trioedd Ynys Prydein, corresponding to triads 38–46c of Bromwich’s edition of that text.
