hi there,

so i've joined because this forum strikes me as a slightly more sane place to learn about arabian showing , something i would love to learn more about!

My husband and i come from a background of young horse production, showjumping and dressage he has ridden to a good level. Weown a pure crabbet stallion , Silver Zaanif that we are produceing for 5 year old classes showjumping this year but we are hopeing to get another arabian , something a bit more showy , to produce in hand and then undersaddle later on. we are also owners of a tbx arab , a mini shitland, and currently a british riding pony though we plan to sell her and replace her with an arabian foal. Its taken a while to convert Adam from warmbloods to arabs but i think i've finialy done it!

we live with our horses, three dogs and 2 year old daughter in cornwall the southern most tip of the uk , right by the sea , we swim our horses all through the summer and hunt through the winter , lifes not bad round here , even if it does rain alot!!!

so hello and pleased to meet you and i shall anoy you all by asking lots of questions i'm sure Razz

Hi,
Your Stallion sounds interesting, Australia like Englang has a lot of wonderful 100% and crabbet related horses. My stallion is 100% crabbet: Fenwick Silver Prince and is the grandson of an imported English horse Prince Rasheyd. My mares are crabbet related, I like that bit of something in them so to speak.
cheers
Jo-Anne

Yes, lots of quality horses there. It was quite big news when the bays were exported. Are bay foals resulting? Hope so!
Your boy is silver family, my favourite.
