White Wings -NPS 464, a Dark Chestnut standing 14.2hh, was the sire of 2908 FLU - NPS. (Flu's dam was registered FUNNY FACE so just maybe she had the white face too).leaving you the link to 6692 FANNY FRECKLES - NPS vol.XXII.pg.27. Born in April 1927. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/fanny+freckles3

Posted - 01 Jan 2010 : 12:36:36 PM Can't find Whitehall at the moment - I haven't got Vol X1V of the Polo pony or NPS.
If, as you say, he was by Hermit, this could be the well known thoroughbred of the same name.
Oh My 425, foaled 1900 height 14.2h.h.dark chestnut, blaze, white off hind leg, by Belgrave (16.h.h)Vol X111. p 39 by Knowsley out of Corwen Fanny (Welsh Mountain) dark brown 11h.h. No sire listed for Fanny, and out of a Welsh Mountain mare.
Oh My was owned and bred by the Keynsham Stud Co, Amberley Court, Monmouth.
Oh My had a daughter named Oh My 11 who was by Mootrub (32) chestnut 14.1h.h. I take it that this is the Arab Mootrub!
Oh My 11 progeny are:
1903 Oh My 111 (supp 1903-6)Dark Ches filly by White Flight (189) 1906 White Knight (supp. 1906) Ches colt by White Flight (189)

Posted - 05 Dec 2009 : 5:48:00 PM My mother has found a photo (1923) from India , of a polopony called Torchlight ridden by sir Edward Durand, by WhiteWingsII (our stallion!!!) out of aussie Waler mare. And also a photo of Croft Portlight,when ridden by my grandmother cubhunting 1933, polobred, winner of many prices in the showring including H.R.H The duke of Gloucester's Cup and Championship Melton Mowbray Show 1932. Owner/breeder sir Edward Durand. My grandmother has made a note, had a very good morning cubhunting, Portlight went very well, just a few bucks when first wearing sidesaddle but Lady Durand just said too much oats too little exercise. Is Croft Portlight in NPS registers?
