Jane Pointer (below), founder of the famous Cranham Arabian Stud of pure Crabbet horses in Gloucestershire, visited in 2007 to meet 10-month old filly, Brightstar, the great grand-daughter of her stallion Indian Star (Indian Magic x Nerinora), one of the last bred at Crabbet park. Brightstar is out of Nishtar whom I bred from Jane's Indian Star son, Jubilee Star.

Gadebrook has been honoured by the most distinguished Crabbet breeders and Arabian enthusiasts in England, including Rosemary Archer and her daughter Elizabeth who stayed to enjoy their mare Summertime Blues, kindly loaned to Gadebrook. Peter Upton came to paint this wonderful Crabbet mare and her foal Rose of Summer by Shaded Silver. The photo shows Peter Upton in his studio with the two lovely paintings he has done of Summertime Blues and her filly.

We briefly welcomed Diana Whittome - between her Open Day at Coed-y-Foel Stud and her judging commitments at the Norfolk & Suffolk Arab Show. We were delighted to welcome Joanna Orme on her two weeks' work experience from school and thank her for her hard work handling the mares and foals, helping the farrier and holding the yearlings for their inoculations. |

In February 2010 our three cheerful ferreters - and terriers - bagged another dozen rabbits to bring their total this season to almost 100. Sadly rabbits are a total pest on the farm, ruining the roots of the hedges and leaving deep holes in the fields where horses risk breaking their legs. |
