One dark night, the farmer bet a stranger that his prized grey mare and her young colts could outrun the wind across the ridge. But the stranger was actually the Devil in disguise. Realizing he was about to lose to a horse, Satan lost his temper and used his dark magic to freeze the animals mid-stride. By sunrise, the mare and her colts were permanently transformed into the massive sarsen stones standing there today.
