in October of the two beautiful mares, Inshallah Signature and
Pevensey Zariffia from Australia, brings exciting new lines to
the pure Crabbet gene pool in Britain. Signature travelled in
foal to Monarch Lodge Ambition and produced a tall, energetic
and very correct foal in April 2013.

Gadebrook has hosted
a number of Intelligent Horsemanship seminars, led by Sue Palmer. Usually
a number of us, some participating, some observing, enjoy an interesting
and informative practical day, working with a variety of Gadebrook's young
horses. With 'human to human' exercises to reinforce understanding, we
learn about the use of timing, attitude, energy, consistency, and the
importance of letting the horse know that it has done well. Sue demonstrates
her calm approach to each situation and expains the value of leadership
in developing the horse's confidence in its handler.

In June 2007 Gadebrook Stud hosted an Open
Day for members of the Norfolk & Suffolk Arab Group who gathered round
veteran mare Silver Aura for a photo.
In 2004, we celebrated the stud’s
35th anniversary with a Reunion Party at Tansor Lodge Farm.
We invited the many horses bred at Gadebrook stud to return with their
owners for a programme of displays, fun, games, a treasure hunt, masses
of photo opportunities of family groups, and a BBQ. DETAILS
We were happy to host the Society
of Equine Artists and tutors each May. Our 2004 filly foal Kalish by Crystal
Magic was on show with her dam Kumasha, as was Sunne in Silver with her
foal Rusleema. DETAILS
Gadebrook hosted an evening stud tour and quiz for members
of the Pony Club of the FitzWilliam Hunt in summer 2006. AHS Premium mare
Jazmyn, dressed in her desert regalia, greeted them on the lawn. Jazmyn

| 35TH ANNIVERSARY
REUNION PARTY |
|
To celebrate the 35th anniversary
of Gadebrook Stud in 2004, Anne Brown invited all the horses she has bred
to return with their owners for a Reunion Party in May. The new foals
paraded with their dams - Kumasha and bay baby Kalish by Crystal Magic,
and Sunne in Silver and 3-week old Rusleema; the champion endurance and
show-jumping stallion Shaded Silver strutted his stuff; and the ever-increasing
'family' paraded in the top paddocks, and grouped for photos.
| Silver
Aura (born in 1980) met her veteran breeder, Mrs Iona Bowring (now
McVean), and three offspring all by Silvern Sceptre: Silver Aria,
Bright Sceptre and Aurran. |

| Visitors
enjoyed a hog roast lunch, quizzes, the display of equine art, and
a treasure hunt on horseback that left at breakneck speed returning
in half the time allowed, and a cream tea. Christine Bouma won a portrait
of her Gadebrook gelding Khamees to be painted by Sian Wynn. The day
raised £250 towards the Brooke Hospital for Animals in Cairo
which helps equines in the Middle East. |

EQUINE ARTISTS' TUTORIAL
The Society of Equine Artists held
their annual seminar at Gadebrook Stud in early May 2004, the first time
they had visited an Arab stud farm. They now return each spring.
| Many
beautiful pictures, sketches and photos resulted, despite rain and
the dramatic arrival of Sunne in Silver's filly - her first foal,
so problems, medical care, tranquilisers - and that was just the owner! |
