The Boomerang Plan to bring long-lost Crabbet genes back to Britain
from Australia is already showing exciting results with the birth
of two bay Crabbet colts, Palermo born 3 May 2013 and Bismillah
born 5 April.
Palermo's sire and dam travelled over from Australia together
in 2007 as two year olds - the colt, Erin Park Excel to Llain
Arabians in Wales and filly Palma Benay
to Gadebrook. Now the 2012 mating has produced this smart colt,
6 days late, and rarin' to go.
Palermo has joined Moonlight Arabian stud as a key component
of their pure Crabbet breeding programme.
