It would seem that Scotland For Ever, foaled in 1917 was trained for polo and sold, probably at some time in 1921/22, and it would seem that she was owned by a Mr. Bucknell.
In 1933 she was certainly owned by Mr Bucknell, who bred a Grey Filly called Highland Fling from her.
Later in 1924 she returned to the ownership of Mrs Muntz, as in Volume 22 of The National Pony Society, published in 1936, we find :-

Mrs Muntz did not register Scotland for Ever, until Scottische was a year old. She would now be nineteen years old.

NOTES:
Scotland For Ever, would have been named after the painting, Scotland For Ever, by Lady Elizabeth Butler, (a very well known painter), who was known to Imogen Mary Collier, (Mrs J. Oscar Muntz) as she was a great friend of Imogen’s mother.
The lead horses in Lady Elizabeth Butler’s painting are white. The painting hangs in Leeds City Art Gallery.
It is further said that the painting hung temporally in Foxhams, during a dispute, shortly after its completion.
