Notes:
Go Swiftly only just made it into Volume 29 of The National Pony Stud Book with her number 11579, it stops at 11580. Since Go Swiftly was foaled in 1943 she would have been 15 years old before being registered as a mare.
It seems she may have been a “polo playing pony.”
There may well be more to find out about Go Swiftly
