Travels

Anne attended the excellent Crabbet Convention in the Autumn 2005 in Australia and also visited the major Crabbet studs on tours either side of the Crabbet show. What hospitable hosts the Australians are!

In April 2007 Anne attended the WAHO (World Arab Horse Organisation) Conference in Damascus, Syria - homeland of the ancestors of many of our current Crabbet horses!

The 2009 WAHO Conference in Oman was equally exciting. Mighty fortresses, turtles nesting under the fall moon, dancing in the desert by firelight and dune bashing in a 4x4 through the Wahiba Sands, lunching on Saltan Qaboos's yacht, spin-jarring trips through the mountains, and so much more. Dozens of photos will be placed under a link here very soon.
