Visitors to Gadebrook from abroad  
   
 

 

Gadebrook has been honoured with visitors from all over the world.

A crew from the Middle Eastern TV station Al Jazeera filmed the Arabian horses at Gadebrook in July 2012.  
     

From South Africa: Janita & Van Duyn Doyer of Arkab Stud; Johan van Eeden from Jasmyn stud; & Hendrik Jacobs.

From the USA:

     

 

Tory Bailey, 6ft 4in son of Gadebrook's American partner Patti Bailey, visited England in the darkest days of January 2012 to meet 15.3hh Sambist, sire of 11 Damb Much, the endurance stallion he rides in the USA.

 
     

Dr Larry Cohen (right, with Anne and Sambist) made the pilgrimage to see Sambist in the flesh in 2010, having bought all his frozen semen in the USA for his herd of pure Russian mares based in Florida.

"I was even more impressed by him than I thought possible", confirmed Doctor Cohen.

"He is truly one of the best Arabs in the world."

 

We were particularly happy to meet Merrie Boone (with whom Anne toured many Crabbet studs in the USA in 2005 and Britain in 2006); & Patti Bailey (with whom we have established the importation of frozen semen from her Living Legend stallion Remington Steele*++ through Gadebrook AI Services); also Jeri and Marty Kirkhuff from Desert Thunder Arabians; & Magic Domino's owners Kim & Mark Thomason of Arabian Dream Farms.
