==In romance== In the romance ''Oidheadh Chlainne Tuireann'' (OCT, The Fate of the Children of Tuireann), the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]] oppressed by tribute enforced by the [[Formorians]] gather an assembly on a hill, and Lugh arrives among an army of the "Fairy Cavalcade from the [[Tír na nÓg|Land of Promise]]" ({{langx|ga|an Marcra Sidh ó Thir Tairrngire}}). Aonbharr of Manannán was the horse Lugh was riding. The horse was quicker than the "naked cold wind of spring", and could travel over land or sea with equal ease. It also had the property that whoever was mounted on its back could not be killed. And Lugh was dressed in various armor from the sea-god adding to his invulnerability.{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=162–163}}<ref name=spaan/> Note that in [[P. W. Joyce]]'s retelling the fairy cavalcade appeared as "warriors, all mounted on white steeds",{{sfnp|Joyce|1894|p=38}} which suggests as embellishment that Lugh's horse was white also.{{efn|It might also be noted that in ''[[The Voyage of Bran]]'', Manannan is traveling over sea riding a chariot by glistening or shining sea-horses ({{langx|ga|gabra lir}}).<ref name=meyer-imram-brain/> But the sea-horses are only figurative phrasing for "crested waves" according to the DIL.<ref>eDIL s.v. "[http://www.dil.ie/25058 gabor (2)]"</ref>}} Lugh refused to loan the horse to the sons of Tuireann, claiming that would be the loan of a loan, but in making this refusal, was later trapped into lending the self-navigating ''currach'' ([[coracle]] boat) called the "Besom of the Sea" ({{langx|ga|scuab tuinné}}),{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|pp=192–193}} also called Sguaba Tuinne<ref>{{harvp|O'Duffy|1901}}, ¶35, p. 30, tr. 99.</ref> or Wave-sweeper.{{sfnp|Joyce|1894|p=61}}
