I sometimes wonder if Miss Imogen Collier spotted a likeness that might, just might, have come from one of “the supposed four Arabs,” to have populated the moor at one time or another. Or indeed the, “Welsh pony Punchinello”, before he was supplanted by Lord Polo, and sent off to Bodmin Moor. (It may not have been quite like that!)

In the ‘Book of the Horse’ (published in 1946) page 685, Sylvia Calmady-Hamlyn comments:
“…years ago but within living memory there were many variations of colour deriving from mealy dun and bay and further back still the old celtic blue, still so spoken of by moorsmen…”
