Thanks - Brill step forward Hollyland & Thanks for the supporting info Melynda, at last were getting somewhere. Meteoric must have been on the MAF scheme, as the premium was so low (subsidised by the gov.)and the Government scheme finished in 1930, so fits in nicely with the HIS scheme and 1930. Looked at the map, both places are off the A40,not too far from each other, so your right. I guess Mr P Davies must have been alive then. On the pony racing front, they all seem to think the ponies were Thoroughbred or near. Cigarette was not entered in the Welsh stud book, so we can stop looking for her there. I did wonder if she was bt the TB, Little Corona, will follow that next. I seem to come up with a blank on the pony racing front, all I've found is that it stopped just before the second world war. Unless we can turn anything up relating to her racing in South Wales and doing well and find the horse she was sired by. I understand that Little Corona covered a lot of mares, but I have only found a few, so far. Great work, Thanks very much. Keep the Meteoric info safe for future reference. Can you think of anywhere they pony raced in the 1920's or if they ran under rules. Wondering if anyone wrote any thing about the races in those days and if there are any local books about it. or results. Thanks Again Cheers Sue
