This gracious chesnut mare, a former British National
Champion Brood Mare, was bred by Mrs Iona Bowring who kindly gave her
to me. Sadly, at the age of 27, Aura finally passed away but her many
offspring will bring joy to her owners in the future.
Aura's coat retained the metallic sheen of her sire, the
multi-champion American Ben Rabba who decended from early imported Crabbet
lines. Aura was from the revered Silver Fire line through her dam, Silver
Sheen and grand-dam Silver Grey. Between them, these two Crabbet mares
dominated the AHS Show, sharing the Female and Reserve Female Championships
for a number of years.
Aura nicked particularly with our English stallion Silvern
Sceptre producing show winners in Silver Aria, Bright Sceptre and others.
Silver Aura was 78.86% Crabbet
