7912 Foxhams Blue Fairy II certainly was not sold in the, “Sale,” in 1938.
I think that she, and “Foxhams Blue Crystal,” would have been at Foxhams until at least 1947 and probably longer. I expect Foxhams Blue Crystal was trained in 1946 and would have been a child’s Riding Pony.

Foxhams Blue Crystal is without a doubt a Dartmoor Cross, bearing the Prefix, ‘Foxhams’.
Earlier Mrs Muntz had only dedicated, ‘Foxhams’ to ponies she owned, and that were, ‘registered’ ‘Dartmoor,’ on the sire and dam side. However a while later the Prefix evolved to signify, ‘breeder only.’

With this new understanding, ‘Foxhams Blue Crystal,” very definitely qualifies for the Prefix, “Foxhams”.

Her sire, Love Romance, was Mrs Muntz’s home bred stallion foaled in 1937 by her also home bred stallion Love Song.
(Love Romance‘s dam was Roman Scandal, an Approved Mare (later transferred to the Stud Book of the National Pony Society, on the 2nd February 1939) in whose pedigree, ‘The Tetrarch’, appears.)

7912 Foxhams Blue Fairy II, (dam of Blue Crystal), whose sire was, Mrs Muntz’s, ‘home bred’ ‘Foxhams Wistman‘
The dam of, ‘Foxhams Blue Fairy II,’ was Mrs Muntz’s (although branded N.P.S.), Foxhams Blue Fairy, whose dam was, 3745 Fairyland a pony bred by Mrs Mrs Muntz in 1906.

Perhaps, ‘Foxhams Blue Crystal’ represented The Polo and Riding Pony, Mrs Muntz had so long hoped to breed.
