Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend

Both horses appear to Cúchulainn from the pool of Linn Liaith in the mountains of Sliab Fuait, a gift from either Macha or her sister the Morrígan.

He is hit by the second spear thrown by Lugaid mac Con Roí (the first had killed Láeg), and returns to the pool of Linn Liaith in the mountains of Sliab Fuait, where Cúchulainn had originally found him.

Dub Sainglend runs on, but Liath Macha returns to protect him, killing fifty with his teeth and thirty with each of his hooves.

After Cúchulainn dies, Liath Macha leads Conall Cernach to his master's body.

Conall, aided by his horse the Dewy or Dripping Red (Deirg nDruchtaig) later avenges Cúchulainn by killing Lugaid.
