Crabbet Park Arabian Stud
The Arabs - stud Crabbet Arabian Stud was the end of the 19th century by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and Anne Blunt, 15th Baroness Wentworth their estate in Sussex near Crawley founded.
Lady Anne Blunt and her husband traveled to Arabia several times in the 1870s / 1880s to buy Arab horses. Her stud is one of the most important in Arabian breeding. A significant number of today's pure-bred Arabs have a Crabbet ancestor in their lineage. Horses from this stud were among others Azrek , Dajania , Queen of Sheba , Rodania , Mesaoud and Sotamm , a bay stallion born in 1910, one of whose descendants is Nazeer .
Lady Wentworth used Skowronek as a stallion at her Crabbet Park stud . He was often used with the daughters and granddaughters of the stallion Mesaoud - also a stallion at Crabbet Park - and produced a large number of offspring that followed Lady Wentworth's breeding efforts for larger-framed horses with Arabian type and elegance.
