We are a small stud in the Lake District, carefully breeding pure bred arab horses for our own endurance use for over 20 years. We have realised how few straight Crabbet stallions at public stud are left in the UK, and have expanded our breeding of 100% Crabbet and GSB arabian foals at home and to visiting mares. Our 100% Crabbet stallion Hanson stood here until his death in 2009. He had just been joined here by Winged Saint, also straight Crabbet. Our two 2008 pure Crabbet sons of Hanson, Seren Hanau and Seren Hanag, will stand here this year.

Hanson's 2008 sons are mature for the 2011 breeding season. Both are SCID clear and CA clear.

Immediately following Hanson's loss, we were offered a one year lease of Halal, his full brother. This led to Halal's reimportation, to allow us to round off our breeding plans.

Late in 2009, we bought Binley Winged Spirit, Winged Saint's 2009 colt. We hope he will join our stud list in 2012 following a trial breeding with a home mare in 2011.

And finally, we plan to keep Winged Saint's 2010 colt Seren Winged Shadow here as a ridden and stud stallion to complete our long term stud list, provided that he develops into the stallion we expect.

We especially welcome 100% Crabbet and GSB fillies or mares, for purchase or breeding lease arrangements as well as visiting mares. We currently have a space for a 100% Crabbet mare on breeding lease (return-in-foal basis.)

Having changed the emphasis of our breeding, we will never achieve what many others have: a distinctive lineage over generations. Instead we are concentrating on two themes: staying as few generations from horses foaled at Crabbet Park as we can and staying true to the type of horse we so admire.

Thus Hanson, and now Halal: both of their parents, Hanif and Sherilla, were foaled and bred from at Crabbet; Shadowed Gold, daughter of St. John; Silver Ingot; Winter Queen, GSB and over 90% Crabbet. All of these epitomise the powerful, versatile physical horse with the temperament and intelligence that we insist on. We already have a son of Hanson and Shadowed Gold, the three year old Seren Hanau, on our stud list, and we still have a little hope for a foal by ET from Halal and Silver Ingot.

Training in good habits and sociability begins within minutes of every foal's birth. We like horses and foals to be happy and safe in a loosebox with people! Equally, herd behaviour is vital to their manners and wellbeing, and they live in natural herds for the vast majority of the time rather than in the stable block, stallions running with mares and youngstock:

The result is that we live with gentle, beautiful horses. Starting ridden work is an extension of their handling rather than "breaking". 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, all have the same upbringing. The results have delighted our purchasers in the past, and will in the future.

Winged Saint's two 2010 home coverings achieved confirmed pregnancies. Sadly, Canopus twinned yet again after losing her twins 28 days before they were due. An attempt to reduce her to one single pregnancy failed: she lost them both and then refused to come back into season for the rest of the year. We are very hopeful that she will at last conceive a straightforward single this spring. On the other hand, Shadowed Gold foaled another superb colt, and has a confirmed pregnancy for 2011, this time a filly as you can see clearly from the ultrasound scan:

One of Saint's visiting mares emerged from her transport in full season, so ready that we decided to cover her half an hour later. 52 days after her arrival, she left us with a 50 day confirmed pregnancy. Sadly, she has just lost her pregnancy in February. The only consolation is that with our 48 hour live foal guarantee she can return without any fees other than for grass livery and the vet.

The other visiting mare, who has a history of great difficulty in breeding, did not conceive. As part of the drive to preserve 100% Crabbet lines, we are happy to accept "difficult breeding mares", though they may distort our success rate statistics as in this case.

Halal has his first AI pregnancy confirmed. We hope to make more details available later, subject to the mare owner's permission.

Seren Hanau ran with a schoolmistress Welsh section D broodmare for five weeks at the end of the 2010 season, and she taught him well including manners. She is the winner of the covering we donated to an auction of promises for the EGB Cumbria group's fund raising for the GB team for the World Equestrian Games. With the weather breaking down, she left us in late September, and we are awaiting the results of her impending pregnancy test. Seren Hanag is waiting for a suitable schoolmistress to be available...

The yearling Binley Winged Spirit surprised us all by covering an 18 month old filly in the nursery herd on his first birthday, and they doubly surprised us by producing a pregnancy. This would not be a responsible breeding (!!!) so we have stopped it. It does tick the box for both of them for the future, and is a pairing that we had already planned for the future. Spirit is now part of the bachelor herd, who merged with the geldings for the autumn and winter.

Since 2005, the BEF has been grading youngstock for future potential in the fields of dressage, showjumping, eventing and, since 2009, endurance. In brief, the gradings take place at various venues around the country, where judges and vets experienced in the appropriate disciplines assess the youngsters in-hand, loose in the arena, and over jumps for the jumpers. The BEF futurity is open to foals and yearlings, and to two and three year olds. As the aim is to talent spot and to guide the development of future performance horses, the grading may be repeated at any of those ages.

Seren Procyon's owner, Kaye McIver, decided to enter him. We were invited by Kaye to get involved and had a great time as part of the crew for the grading day. First we went to a venue to see what was involved on the day, and were pleased to see that it met all of the claims made for it. The judging was clearly focused on the actual performance and potential of the youngsters, rather than looking for comparisons between them. We gained the impression that if all of them had been worthy of elite grading then that is what they would all have been awarded. We were delighted to talk in the trialer park to one proud owner whose three year old had just completed a full set of "first premium " gradings at all four ages.

Procyon was judged on his physical condition, movement, attitude and potential. His overall grading was a "higher first premium", scoring just 0.07 points below "elite".

The atmosphere was very civilised and pleasant - though none of us could help being nervous in such new territory. We intend to enter our youngstock ourselves from now on, beginning this year as all of the venues were fully booked for the rest of 2010. We plan initially to take the three year olds Seren Hanau, Seren Hanag, and Procyon's full sister Seren Bellatrix Malika as 2011 is the last when they will be eligible, and more if we can get the entries.

Oh yes, the competitive instinct was also satisfied as a bonus! For endurance gradings, Procyon's score is the highest in 2010, second highest ever since the scheme was extended to include the discipline, and the highest for any 3 year old or any purebred arab. Great fun. We're very pleased indeed...

Seren Vega joined Seren Rigel in London, gaining experience with Rebecca Kinnarney. On 14th August, she took them to the Wessex summer C show, to let them find out what an event in an indoor arena feels like. In the Crabbet geldings inhand class (4 yo and over) they were placed first and second, both qualifying for the national championships in 2011.

Vega took in hand reserve champion at Patchett's December show, another qualifier, and also placed well in the ridden arab class, while Rigel continued to collect rosettes as he had all year.

Breeding for endurance on our mountainside, we have never thought we could compete in the showring, so these are huge results for us!

Stallions at Stud

As the economic uncertainty continues, 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.

At over 15:2hh Hanson was a powerful, well conformed ridden horse. Flea-bitten grey with the bloody shoulder of a classic desert bred arabian, he was as imposing as he was pleasant. He was eager to please, easy to manage, had a sweet and kind temperament and was a pleasure to be with. He rode out with our mares in or out of season without problems. At 21 years old, he had retired from endurance. Though never shown, he attracted favourable attention from those who know their ridden arabs. He had a 100% conception rate in mares covered. All of his foals have finished larger than their dams.

We are pleased that his sons Hanau and Hanag appear to be maturing to have similar temperament, athletic ability and presence to their sire. They will each cover a small number of proven broodmares here in 2011.

We are thrilled to have Halal for another year. He is one of the very last stallions at stud to be born of two parents who were themselves bred at the Crabbet Stud. Halal like Hanson is available as a priority to mares who are themselves born of a similar covering, and we welcome older mares as well as young, "easier breeders".

Our equine vet has and deserves our admiration for the way she has helped us to breed some superb youngstock out of some very challenged mares. She works closely with us to achieve and support pregnancies, with 7 of our last 8 home foals all being out of aging "difficult" breeders .

Notes

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 in 1988, 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 bore a striking resemblance to Silver Vanity. He competed in endurance until our own injuries prevented us from taking this further.

HALAL Bred at the Imperial Arabian Stud in 1989, and exported to Ireland where he hunted and competed in 3 day events. He was severely injured in an accident that has left him unsound for ridden work, but he retains his wonderful presence and temperament. On the right ground he still moves gloriously.

Stud Arrangements

Mares must be of good quality, in good health, with up-to-date vaccinations and certificated current clear test results for CEM, EVA and strangles in accordance with the guidelines issued by the HBLB and BEVA. They must not have been infected with these conditions in the past. We require that your vet certifies that your mare has been on premises free from contagious and infectious diseases for the 60 days prior to her travelling to our premises. These are routine procedures for your vet, and also ensure that your mare is safe from infections which could otherwise be brought in by others.

We and our vets are monitoring the situation with respect to EIA. We are currently asking for clear EIA test results as well as the other tests.

We will want to know your future plans for the foal before accepting your mare. We fully endorse the BHS responsible breeding campaign, while keeping the cost of breeding affordable.

Mares are accepted for covering and livery at the owner's risk. For safety reasons, we need them to be un-shod front and rear.

Seren Hanag and Seren Hanau will not be available to maiden mares, or mares who have had breeding difficulties in the past, during early 2011 and nor will Binley Winged Spirit when he first joins the list.

SCID and CA

Winged Saint, Halal, Seren Hanau and Seren Hanag have all tested clear (N/N) of CA. Binley Winged Spirit will be tested in our next test batch, which will include Shadowed Gold who is Seren Winged Shadow's dam.

Winged Saint is tested and certificated clear (N/N) of SCID, as are both Seren Hanau and Seren Hanag. Binley Winged Spirit and Seren Winged Shadow are SCID clear by heridity.

Halal, like Hanson, is a SCID carrier, and available only to SCID clear mares. We require to see the mare's clear test results, or evidence that she is clear by heredity either because both of her parents were tested or hereditarily clear or because she has no arabian bloodlines.

A SCID and CA information and advice page will be available shortly in the public section of our advice pages.

Covering arrangements:

If the mare is of violent disposition during covering attempts, we reserve the right to change from natural covering to AI where AI is available. We reserve the right to terminate the covering agreement if the mare is of violent disposition and AI is not available.

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” except with Winged Saint and Halal who are both gentlemen, as it can teach the stallion to be insistent, and because the colts will be ridden regularly on public roads and in the company of mares in the future. Instead we prefer 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.

Covering and Livery Fees, Travel-distance related discount and carbon offsetting:

We are holding our fees at 2009 levels again, in view of the economic situation:

Winged Saint's stud fee £400 NFFR 48;

Halal's stud fee £350 NFFR 48*;

Seren Hanau's and Seren Hanag's stud fee (2011): 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.

NFFR 48 means: if no live foal (surviving for 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. Loss of the foal as a result of accident or acquired infection is excluded but may still be considered at our sole discretion.

NFFR 48* means: if no live foal (surviving for 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. Loss of the foal as a result of accident or acquired infection is excluded but may still be considered at our sole discretion. We do not expect Halal to be available in the UK in 2012, but a stallion will be available here. We expect any returning mare to have a choice of Winged Saint or one of Hanson's sons / Halal's nephews.

Returns by a different mare will not be considered unless the original mare has been lost through insurable circumstances.

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;

All visiting mares must leave our premises by 31st August unless by arrangement prior to arrival.

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, as we will want to talk your plans for the foal and your stallion choice through with you.

We are both recognised by DEFRA as Equine Artificial Insemination Technicians, and can make Winged Saint and Halal available by fresh and chilled semen this year, both here and by next-day special delivery. For mare owners in dire need, chilled semen can be picked up from us directly. Sunday and Monday inseminations are for those who enjoy driving...

Our excellent vet is available for scanning and for mares who need sedation or reproductive system treatment rather than routine AI procedures. Our mare insemination facilities are well established, and our stallion collection area is under conversion.

In the short term, we have arranged for collections to take place at another stud. We currently need to give them a clear day's notice that we need to collect. For example for a Wednesday insemination we need to be warned on Sunday so that we can book a collection on Tuesday morning. Once we are self sufficient, we will need to be contacted by 1000hr (10 a.m.) at the latest. This will let us collect and process the semen in time to get it away for next day delivery and insemination. Of course the more notice we have, the more likely we are to be contactable in time and to be able to collect and dispatch semen to you.

Fresh and chilled semen costs for collection and assessment, and for dispatch or insemination, are additional to the nomination and stud fees, and vary according to the situation. Again, we will keep these as low as possible.

Winged Saint has been collected from by the reknowned Martin Boyle of the West Kington Stud in the autumn of 2009, but did not "freeze well" in spite of having very good quality fresh semen. As a result, we have an extremely small amount of good quality frozen semen in store that is of commercial quality and certified for Australia, New Zealand, USA, EC and the UK.

While Halal has been with us, we have taken a very small collection of frozen semen from him. This may become available to 100% Crabbet mares from 2012, provided that we achieve the live foals we are planning from his 2011 coverings, and subject to agreement with his owner. It is not certified for export from the UK.

Seren Hanau, Seren Hanag, Binley Winged Spirit and Seren Winged Shadow will be trained and assessed for fresh, chilled and frozen semen in due course, that is once they have positive 42 day pregnancy scans in mares covered naturally. Clearly it is not yet possible to tell when this will be for each of them.

Foals 2010

Winged Saint covered six mares in 2009. Five were scanned in foal, but Winter Queen was resorbing at 30 days. Three of these 2010 foals arrived safely.

27th March: Sadly, the first 100% Crabbet foal due turned out to be twins that had evaded the scanner - we saw the scan and everyone is perplexed - and Canopus lost them both as a result of the filly twisting her cord. The colt was born alive, but 28 days before term after a fortnight of us trying to help her to hold on. 28 days early is just not survivable. Winged Saint x Seren Canopus Hanifa.

20th April: 100% Crabbet filly foal; Winged Saint x Dominita (visiting mare), foaled in France.

6th May: 100% Crabbet colt foal; Winged Saint x Shadowed Gold.

29th May: 90.6% Crabbet, 9.4% Polish filly; Winged Saint x Seren Capella (visiting mare).

100% Crabbet mares

Silver Ingot. This wonderful mare arrived here in 2008. We had hoped she would give Hanson a foal, before retiring permanently. Now 28 years old, she is Halal's constant companion.

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 a position of resident stallion here, the wonderful 2008 colt foal Seren Hanau. Last year she foaled another super colt, Seren Winged Shadow, by Winged Saint. We have covered her for another straight Crabbet foal this year, again by Winged Saint... and most excitingly we know the sex of the embryo thanks to our most excellent stud vet's new scanning equipment.

Silihah. It looks from the scans as if her breeding career is over, but since arriving here she has given us two 100% colts by Hanson, both of whom are destined to stand at stud. Seren Hanag is staying with us. The second, Seren Hanos, should not pose too great a direct competitor as he is in Idaho, USA, with the Yosts.

Seren Canopus Hanifa. Hanson's first foal. Having been sold as a foal, she became both a ridden mare and the horse used to give city children close up non-ridden contact at an urban farm. We bought her back on Hanson's death, and she has since conceived two sets of twins by Winged Saint. We are hoping for a simple single pregnancy this year. In the meantime she is riding out and will be used as lead horse to introduce the youngsters to the joys of hacking out from here.

Silver Serendipity. Silver Ingot's daughter by Winged Saint. This lovely girl arrived with her dam, 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.

Seren Hanita (2008). Now turned a 3yo, she has been dubbed the "Miracle Filly" by Merri Melde in her articles about us. She has taken over the 2010 foals Seren Winged Shadow and Capewell Winged Starfire in order to ensure that they continue to learn good herd manners now that they are weaned.
