Lord Polo, (who was by the thoroughbred Rosewater) was allowed to run on the moor to improve the breed.
Cup Moss was one of his daughters, owned originally by G.H. Horrell and later by Mrs J. Oscar Muntz.
The only evidence I have for Kissing Cup is the above entry in Volume 15. It is interesting to note that Mrs. Muntz considered, “the first and second cross,” produced the perfect child’s riding pony.
Since Kissing Cup is “a second cross,” I think she was most likely to have been trained as a child’s riding pony.
