Gadebrook Stud was established in 1969 to breed Arabs of Old English and Crabbet lines, for their kind temperaments, soundness and agility. In 2006, Anne's cousin Alan Brooks contributed to the stud by jointly importing frozen semen from the American WAHO winner, Remington Steele*++, and jointly purchasing the Premium mare Jazmyn, then in 2007, jointly purchasing the world-renowned Premium stallion and racing legend Sambist to stand at Gadebrook | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hachim at four became
the youngest ever stallion to be granted Premium Stallion status by the
AHS, when he completed the gruelling Performance Horse tests gaining a Grade
11 and beating all the other (older!) Arab stallions. After two seasons
racing in the UK, he went to the Middle East where he won the Bahrain Endurance
race in 2002, in record time, then represented his new country in the 2005
World Endurance Championships in Dubai where he beat 173 top riders from 41 countries to win the Gold in world record time. |

The gracious Silver Indrette, out of the British National Champion Indira, sadly never gave us fillies, only colts. However, she was a joy to own and show and a superb broodmare.
Zarah, a prolific broodmare, left a legacy of top quality stock, including Zaradon (by Donax) who won the Dubai Stakes at Kempton Park, Zaroda (by Herod), Zamorin (by Silver Domino), Zaharina (by Ludomino) and Jubilee Czar by Jubilee Star. This small broodmare band was augmented in 1996 by the gift of Mrs Iona Bowrings and Mr & Mrs David Peck's superb collection of top-class Crabbet horses.
Silvern Sceptres tumour prevented him emigrating to the States with the Pecks, so he spent his last years with us, having had an almost unbeaten record in the show-ring both in-hand and under saddle. His beauty, kindness and joie de vivre are missed every day, but continue
in his wonderful off-spring. |
