dam: (3/4 Dartmoor, 1/4 Thoroughbred) bright bay, 13.0


Produce:
1916 – Chestnut filly by Dartmoor pony (Bred on Moor)


It seems that Amber ran on the moor as her filly foal of 1916 was bred on the moor. (although there is no note of a brand).
Perhaps Mrs Muntz purchased Amber and her foal in 1916, because it was illegal to sell foals aged less than four months without their dams.
(Most foals, in a managed population are removed from their dams, in autumn, when aged about four months.)
I have no further information on Amber or her foal.
