Holidays at Over Staveley: bring your horse to the Lake District
Seren Arabians, Kendal, Cumbria. LA8 9QX, U.K.
We are a small stud in the English Lake District, and have been carefully breeding pure bred arab horses for our own use in endurance riding. Our 100% straight Crabbet stallion Hanson stands here at limited public stud. We have realised how few straight Crabbet stallions are left in the UK, and are expanding our programme of breeding 100% Crabbet and GSB arabian foals. Hanson has just been joined here permanently by Winged Saint. Our two pure Crabbet 2008 colts, Seren Hanau and Seren Hanag, will join our stud list and stand here next year.
We especially welcome contacts from owners of 100% Crabbet and GSB fillies or mares, and are interested in purchase or breeding lease arrangements as well as in visiting mares. We currently have two 100% Crabbet mares on breeding lease on a return-in-foal basis, including Hanson's first foal. She has joined us on a breeding lease for one foal, in order to preserve the line.
Training in good habits and sociability begins within minutes of the birth of every foal. We like horses and foals which are happy and safe in a loosebox with people! Equally, herd behaviour is vital to their manners and wellbeing, and they live out in natural herds for the majority of the time, rather than in the stable block, stallions runnng with mares and youngstock.
The result is that we live with a herd of most pleasant, gentle and beautiful horses. Bringing them into ridden work is an extension of their handling rather than "breaking", and involves all of the family. The youngest (lightest) child was always the first in a youngster's saddle. It's a matter of mutual trust ...
Since any foal may be chosen to stay permanently, they all have the same type of programme. The results have delighted our purchasers in the past, and will in the future.

As the economic downturn takes hold, we feel that it is very important to keep our programme of 100% Crabbet breeding going, and we would encourage everyone to try to do so, too. With a small and aging national herd, the loss of a few years as we all wait for the economy to pick up would have a disproportionate effect on the future of 100% Crabbet breeding. We aim to keep our stud and livery fees as low as we possibly can, and encourage mare owners to share transport if possible.
Hanson. At over 15:2hh Hanson is a powerful, well conformed ridden horse. Flea-bitten grey with the bloody shoulder of a classic desert bred arabian, he is as imposing as he is pleasant. He is eager to please, easy to manage, has a sweet and kind temperament and is a pleasure to be with. He rides out with our mares in or out of season without problems. At 21 years old, he is now retired from endurance. Though never shown, he attracts favourable attention from those who know their ridden arabs.
He has a 100% conception rate in mares covered. All of his foals have finished larger than their dams.
He is pure Crabbet, and stands to a limited number of mares. As one of the last stallions at stud to be born of two parents who were bred at Crabbet Stud, Hanson is available as a priority to mares who are themselves born of a similar covering.
Video 1 of Hanson : Video 2 of Hanson: DONT TRY THIS AT HOME
SCID
Mares of arabian descent must be tested and certificated SCID clear to visit Hanson, as he is a SCID carrier. This is not necessary for non-arabian mares. Both of his sons standing here are tested and certificated SCID clear, as is Winged Saint.

SILVER VANITY One of the finest stallions of the Sobha line. Exported to America in 1962, he left only a few sons and daughters behind.
HANIF Out of Sirella by Silver Vanity, and bought at Crabbet's dispersal sale by Mr. Plaister for his Imperial Stud. He sired the multiple champion Haroun, the U.S.A. Scottsdale winner Shatir (full brother to Hanson), and British National Champion Zarafah, amongst many others.
SIRELLA Though shown only occasionally while at Crabbet, Sirella was supreme female champion at the Arab Shows in 1956, 1959 and 1962. She was dam to many successful Arabs. At the 1962 Arab Show, Silver Vanity and Sirella were the supreme male and female champions, and Hanif was best foal.
BRIGHT SHADOW Selected by Lady Wentworth, he was renowned for his kind nature, which he has consistently passed down the generations.
SHERILLA Out of Sirella by Bright Shadow, and also bought at Crabbet's dispersal sale by Mr. Plaister. She was dam of Hanson, Shatir, ten other colts and five fillies. She was shown only once, as a three year old with her sister, when they took first and second in their class.
HANSON Bred at the Imperial Arabian Stud, and brought to Cumbria both because of his "Bright Shadow" temperament and to fill a need in the North of England for a stallion by Hanif. Hanson bears a striking resemblance to Silver Vanity. He competed in endurance until our own injuries prevented us from taking this further.
Mares must be of good quality, in good health, with up-to-date vaccinations and clear venereal test certificated results. They must not have been exposed to venereal infections in the past. For safety reasons, we need them to be un-shod.
Mares are accepted for covering at the owner's risk. We reserve the right to terminate the covering agreement if the mare is of violent disposition during covering attempts.
We can do any covering style and care package, but prefer to them run together in a herd following a first covering on sand & rubber. This allows us to rescue the stallion if the mare turns out to be violent. We don’t do ”cover on sight” as it can be traumatic for the mare, teaches the stallion to be insistent, and because Hanson is regularly ridden on public roads and in the company of mares. Instead we go for a gradual introduction before she is in season, then a supervised courtship, then the first covering. We are set up to intervene at any stage to prevent either from having a nasty time.
Seren Hanag and Seren Hanau will not be available to maiden mares, or mares who have had breeding difficulties in the past, during 2010.
Covering and Livery Fees, Travel-distance related discount and carbon offsetting:
Hanson's stud fee £300 NFFR 48; Winged Saint's stud fee £400 NFFR 48;
NFFR 48 (same mare) means: if no live foal (48 hours) results from covering, a return visit by the same mare will be free of covering fee, but subject to livery fees. The mare must still meet our full health and behavioural requirements.
Seren Hanau's and Seren Hanag's stud fee (2010): special introductory price and no-foal terms: a choice of:
either stud fee £400 NFFR 48 transferrable to any of our stallions;
or stud fee £250 42 day scanned pregnancy no return, upgradable to NFFR 48 on payment of a further £150 to bring the fee up to £400 NFFR 48.
Returns by a different mare will not be considered unless the original mare has been lost through insurable circumstances.
All mares must leave our premises by 14th August unless by arrangement prior to arrival.
Nomination fee £50 included in the above fees. This is not transferrable to another mare except by our prior permission and is non-refundable unless in exceptional circumstances. It is transferrable to another of our stallions, but the timing of the mare's visit must dovetail with pre-existing bookings for that stallion. It is certainly non-refundable once any covering attempt has been made.
£5 per day handling, grass keep and basic care, use of covering facilities and scanning stocks as required, plus emergency/contingency use of loosebox;
“Special arrangements” and hard feed at cost;
Vet’s / farrier’s or trimmer’s / dentist’s fees at cost payable by the end of the calendar month incurred;
Deduction of £1 per 10 miles of double-round-trip to transport the mare to and from our stud (put your own post code and LA8 9QX into the "quickest" driving directions section on www.multimap.com to get the mileage, multiply by 4 then divide by 10);
Free tree to plant here for each 50 miles of double-round-trip as above for carbon offsetting (they will fuel our central heating in a few years’ time).
All fees must be paid prior to the mare leaving our premises.
Please Contact us before
sending nomination fees.
We are currently assessing the demand for semen from Hanson and Winged Saint, and are moving towards collections. Following that we hope to be able to offer fresh and chilled - collected, processed and dispatched at another local stud by arrangement - and frozen. Please contact us to express your interest. We will take this into account when we decide on the amount to be collected and frozen, the countries to prepare it for, and so the amount available for public mares. It is unlikely that we will be able to offer AI for the 2009 northern hemisphere breeding season.

Shadowed Gold. Scanned in foal at 18 days, did not hold full term.
Silihah. Scanned with twins, injected out.
Coverings 2008
To bring foalings back to April / May, and to give the mares a rest, we have "skipped" a year for almost all of them. This means we will be covering in May 2009 for April 2010 foalings. The exception is Silihah, covered by Hanson in July to foal in June, and scanned in foal at 80 days.
Winged Saint covered three mares in 2008, at Binley Arabian Stud and Berryscroft Stud, all of them confirmed in foal. Sadly one was diagnosed with twins, and had to be injected out.
Hanson x Silihah (Silver Fahd / Malihah): Foaled 28/6/08: 100% Crabbet colt.
Not for the faint-hearted, this foaling lark...
Winged Saint x Binley Silvern Grace (Prince Sadik x Silvern Image) Foaled 30/4/09 at Binley Arabian Stud: 100% Crabbet colt. www.binleystud.com .
Many congratulations to Caroline Sussex.

Hanson x Shadowed Gold (St. John / Magic's Moonshadow) (at Seren Arabians formerly on breeding loan): Foaled 31/3/08: 100% Crabbet colt, Seren Han'Au. Shadowed Gold is now to stay with us permanently.
Hanson x Silihah (Silver Fahd / Malihah): Foaled 26/4/08: 100% Crabbet colt, Seren Han'Ag.
Both of these colts will remain here until at least 2011, with one or both to succeed Hanson as a resident stallion. We suspect it will take a long time to decide. Both are stunning.
Hanson x Bibi Maizoon (Salar / Silver Moth) (visiting maiden mare): Foaled 14/5/08: GSB filly. (The news arrived at half past midnight - details to follow)
What a lovely change for us: to be able to reach over to the phone at the side of the bed and give mumbles of reassuring wisdom without having to find our clothes and learn how to walk yet again. Her owner claims it’s more nerve racking than giving birth yourself – just as well she was only 24 hours overdue!

Silver Ingot. This wonderful mare, daughter of the last stallion bred at Crabbet, arrived here last summer. All being well, she will give Hanson a foal, before she retires permanently to our herd in the ambiance shown below.
Silver Serendipity. Silver Ingot's two year old filly by Winged Saint. This lovely girl arrived with her dam, destined for an endurance career and to help in our preservation breeding programme. We fell in love with her at first sight, and only realised later that with her name her place here was predestined.
Shadowed Gold. We are delighted that she is now to stay with us permanently. Many thanks to Gaynor Hunt for trusting us to continue to look after her. She has given us a major contender for the position of resident stallion here, the wonderful colt foal Seren Hanau. We hope to cover her again for another straight Crabbet foal.
Much more information will follow.
The Seren Arabians Nissan Micra L. An understated English masterpiece worthy of the discerning owner. Ideal for the learner rider of the road. Would grace the most elegant of stables. Seen above being admired by Hanson.
Registered pure bred arabs. After-sale livery is available by arrangement, either short or long term.
Grey gelding to make 15:2hh. 87.5% Crabbet. Superb ridden potential.

We have kept him here until now, as a potential successor to Hanson. However, we now have his two 100% Crabbet half brothers competing to fill that role. Procyon is the sort of horse we should be breeding. He has been gelded to make a superb future ridden horse.

With close road links to Lancashire and North Yorkshire, and the M6 giving quick access to the Northwest and Southern Scotland, transport to us is easy. In spite of our seclusion, all but the last two miles are on dual carriageway or straight trunk road.
Stay in our neighbour's cottage, and enjoy our panoramic mountain views and real peace and quiet. {our own COTTAGE still UNDERGOING major INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS}Use us as a base for a walking or climbing holiday, or take to the surrounding fells for walking off your remaining energy after a morning in the saddle.
Work in our all weather outdoor school, or use nearby facilities, indoor or outdoor, with or without professional instruction. At times, we may be able to invite you to join us in a social ride in the hills.
For a real holiday for you and for your horse, we have a small number of livery places, with stabling and turnout throughout the Winter and a care programme to suit your needs. This may also suit the rider or horse needing a winter or year off. {NOW FULLY BOOKED until spring 2010}
For the ultimate package, how about combining one of these arrangements with a covering of your mare by one of our pure Crabbet arabian stallions?
