COLTS

SEMPER FIDELIS Mrs J. Oscar Muntz …..
Chestnut, blaze, two white feet. Foaled 1919 Height 12.1
Breeder, Mrs J. Oscar Muntz …..
Sire: Arthur’s Pride 861, chestnut 15.0
dam: 3505 Cortigan Lass, chestnut, 14.0

Cortigan Lass was a hunter, bought in Ireland. I wonder if Semper Fidelis may have been trained and sold as a riding pony, or as hunter in about 1924

Notes:
Semper Fidelis, composed by Sousa who toured the world with a military-style band
giving concerts. He composed many marches including The Stars and Stripes Forever.
