Drowsie seems to have been a promising example of a future polo pony right from the start.
She was exhibited as a yearling and later, probably in her third year trained for polo, then as can be seen she was sold in 1919 or early in 1920, when quite clearly she was a Polo Pony.
(Later there seems to be a vague reference to Drowsie in 1932, possibly winning a prize but I cannot substantiate this.)
