S25079 6th October 2005
(Silver Wind Van Nina/Saronett El Fakim Wahida)
Thunder is a big, bold, flamboyant mover with a sensible temperament, very full of himself while willing to please. He is pretty sure that he is the ultimate partner for any mare!
Showing plenty of bone and substance he will take time to mature at around 15hh to 15.1hh.
Thunder is CID Clear.
Comanche Lodge Dream Master
Comanche Lodge Dream Master is an eyecatching son of the pure Crabbet stallion Silver Wind Van Nina from the pure Crabbet grey mare Saronett Dhehebi Zahra by Magic Myth from Dancing Fay.
Peter is a solid, well boned individual with a hooky, high set beck, short back and strong hindquarter. He is very sure of himself and his position in life, quite freindly but firm where he thinks he is right.
His movie star looks should see him do well in the show ring and his lineage is proven on the endurance tracks. He should mature around 14.3hh to 15hh.
Comanche Lodge Altijira
Joey, a 100% Crabbet colt by Silver Wind Van Nina from the big, bold bay mare Saronett Ruh on lease from Michelle and Darren Meuwsen of Saronett Arabians arrived on the 16th October 2007.
He is a very forward and freindly, in your face colt with a lovely profile, great headset with wide jowels, liquid eyes set in those wonderful Arabian sockets, good bodied with straight legs and that awesome shoulder and length of hip Van gives his foals. Inquisitive and bold he marches to is own drum assured of his place in the world.

What is a Crabbet Arabian
A PURE CRABBET ARABIAN is one which traces in all lines of its pedigree to Pure Arabian horses owned or bred by Lady Anne Blunt, Wilfrid Blunt, Lady Wentworth, Cecil Covey and the Crabbet Stud..
CRABBET BRED refers to those Pure Arabian horses which are of predominantly Crabbet breeding i.e 75% or over CrabbetArabian Breeding.
Crabbet Park Stud
The Crabbet Arabian Stud was established on 2 July 1878 when the first Arabian horses brought to England by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and Lady Anne Blunt arrived at Crabbet Park, their estate in Sussex. Six months earlier, while staying in Aleppo, Wilfrid and Lady Anne had made a plan to import some of the best Arabian horses to England and breed them there. In Lady Anne's words, "it would be an interesting and useful thing to do and I should like much to try it."
The Crabbet Arabian Today
The particular virtues of Crabbet horses - sound, athletic conformation, good movement, solid temperament and performance abiltity - show up especially well in under saddle competition, and particularly in endurance riding. Thus, the modern Arabian of Crabbet ancestry can be seen in the backyard of the single horse owner, on rugged wilderness terrain, or at the highest levels of national performance competition.
