the 66km Red Dragon ride in tough conditions with
British National champion rider Kathy Carr, and gained
2nd place in the Performance Formula, an outstanding
achievement.
Pure Crabbet gelding Gadebrook
Blade (born 2018) from 100% Australian Arabian bloodlines
is sold to a top Endurance rider for endurance competition
and gained a Gold Premium at the 2021 Youngstock Evaluations.

 Pure
Crabbet Arabian gelding Shaarif,

Congratulations were due to Kaalif,
winner of Dinsdale Memorial Trophy for Champion Pure Arab
in the prestigious AHS Performance Horse Awards for 2019,
owned and ridden by Anja Ward, and also to her 13-yr old
daughter Victoria (right) on winning the Arab Horse Society’s
Farenza Cup on Kaalif for leading Junior Rider.
Kaalif won the pure Crabbet Endurance Championship at the
Crabbet Organisation Performance Awards 2019 and also the
FEI Endurance section.
However, tragedy struck in autumn 2020 when Kaalif broke
his leg in his field and had to be put down – such
a loss of an exceptional horse.
Kaalif was pure Crabbet by endurance sire Silver Zaanif
out of my imported Australian mare Palma Benay. Kaalif was
the sire of Shaarif (2015) from my imported Australian mare
Inshallah Signature.
