There is no particular record of Bird-in-the-Hand other than as, a chestnut colt foaled in 1921. It is very possible he was too big to register as a polo pony and may well have been a hunter or riding pony, however he may have appeared as “foal at foot” at Brentor and Lydford in 1921.

Bird in the Hand, was probably at Foxhams from 1921 to 1925

Notes;
Bush Girl was one of the early mares. Once belonging to Joseph Oscar Muntz and taken for the 1914 war she was considered too highly strung for army purposes and was returned to Foxhams as breeding stock.

At this show, (“Brentor and Lydford”) in 1921, there was a rather undignified dispute when “Bush Girl” was considered over the height limit, after winning Second Prize. Letters were written, but this seems to have been the last time Bush Girl was entered in the ring
