Silver Sunbeam is an exquisite feminine grey filly, our first from Binley Prince Salim out of the lovely old Crabbet mare PHA Silver Heart, who was kindly loaned to Gadebrook by Mary O'Rourke and Jean and David Peck.

This filly will be retained by Gadebrook as a future brood mare as she has the sweetest temperament, the longest legs and the finest pedigree you could wish for in a Crabbet performance horse. Silver Sunbeam is 100% Crabbet and SCID clear.

Born in somewhat dramatic circumstances one morning in the paddock behind the house (see below) as a visitor, Tracey Stephens, from Australia arrived - who immediately got stuck in to pull the filly out with Anne's help. "Typical", she wrote, in the Visitors' Book, "I come on a visit and end up working!"
