After a “Third” Prize at , The Bath and West and Southern Counties Show at Torquay, in May 1930,
(I do not know the Class), it seems to me that Stolen Love was trained for Polo, (she had already been registered as a Mare in 1929).
Perhaps she was loaned out, or sold to play polo for a time.

Later she is covered by Early Love and her produce are as follows:-

In 1937 Stolen Love was certainly one of the, “stars^ at Foxhams.
The Tavistock Times Friday March 19th, 1937 … On Saturday (13th March 1937), Mrs Muntz took first prize with a splendid chestnut mare, Stolen Love, a 12 year old, (National Pony Show.)
In 1938 Mrs Muntz sold most of her stud, (Love Song had died).
I do not know whether Stolen Love was sold at the time, or later, or kept as one of her cherished mares for sentimental reasons.
But I do know the Second World war was just round the corner and everything was about to become very difficult. At the end of the war Stolen Love would have been twenty years old.
