Kaalif  
         

Bay pure Crabbet colt born 16 April 2010 by Silver Zaanif out of Palma Benay whom Anne imported to Gadebrook from Australia in 2007.

Kaalif is the first bay pure Crabbet colt born in Britain since Hachim was foaled here 16 years ago - he is now in Abu Dhabi. Kaalif brings fresh genes to widen the Crabbet bloodlines in Britain.

Kaalif's optimistic, energetic personality should make him a fine endurance horse and sire.

His Crabbet bloodlines descending from horses imported to Australia over 60 years ago make him a valuable potential future sire.

Kaalif loves having his photo taken; fortunately student photographer Laura Vanderloo enjoys coming to Gadebrook to take them!

 


Yearling Kaalif, May 2011

Kaalif gets a squeaky toy for Christmas, mini-Shetland Flynn. So - who's playing with whom?

I'am not going to pull your rug, honest!.... He's pulling my rug, isn't he.... Caught you!
