Lovely Girl was at Foxhams from 1932 until she was purchased by by Lt. Col. W.W. Hallchurch who certainly owned her in 1939, but probably well before.
It is interesting to note that, “Polo-bred Hacks” are now winning prizes at the N.P.S. London Show.
I think the majority of Mrs Muntz’s ponies are now “Hacks” or “Children’s Ponies”.
