very true to type, really intelligent, but very opinionated.

I think I have seen Eliza Rose in the pics they put on their website. They did breed some fantastic horses there. Isn't it a shame it has gone now

the crabbets are not dainty. they are very stocky, with good bone, the chap in the picture is a 5 yr 93% crabbet. he had more bone than my tb x id mare.

he mum was crabbet, and there was nothing dainty about her.

yep, if you google eliza rose you find out more about hes parents past etc.. belive it or not he went through exeter horse sales, selling for 750. poor lad really didnt get a good start.

he had a huge head aswell, nout dainty about it, took a cob sized bridle. with a 15 inch browband!

Had a nice time and could definitely see the difference between the Crabbet and other classes! Both beautiful!

Took lots of photos, have posted a few of them in the PG if anyone is interested

Glad you had fun, will go look at the photos.

One of my Arabs is 50% Crabbet 50% Egyptian on both sides (Crystal Magician and The Shah bloodlines). The Crabbet makes her stocky, the Egyptian makes her tall, so she is a great big 16hh Arab mare, built like a brick sh*t house.

Her head is elegant, but not refined.
Careful about going to Arab shows, you could get hooked!
 
my arab,born in 1993,is by Aurabba,( who's sire was Ben Rabba, an american brought over in1978 and of pure Blunt extraction) is no dainty boy!! very arabby and handsome and highly intelligent, he does not have a very dished face and is of heavier build but he does have the white legs, blaze and gorgeous deep chestnut colouring.
 
Here you are, this is Crystal Fire (known to some I'm sure) on the day she was first backed age 4. She got a bit bigger as she got older and is now 16hh.

And this is Celebrity Psyche, son of Padron's Psyche who is Tobago's grandad. This means that Celebrity is half-brother to Magnum Psyche. ! He is only 14.3hh

This is as seahorsey as it gets for me. I am sure his head would have looked rather extreme when he was a foal, but the shape does change as they grow up.

Thank you, I love them.

They both have great personalities, but very different. Fire can be hugely challenging and was a very fiesty youngster, but she seems to know when something really matters and then she's great. As she gets older she is becoming quite gracious. She has always been very kind to small children, allowing them to hug her head - something she won't put up with from me! When I backed her she was fantastic, she seemed to really enjoy her ridden work, but sadly had to retire after doing almost nothing because of bad kissing spine. After too many vet hospital visits, she will not stable on any terms.
Celebrity is one of those horses that people call "Sweetie" as soon as they meet him. He can get quite upset about some things, but would never do anyone any damage however worried he is. He's very particular about his space, and likes his stable quiet and without a lot going on around it. To ride he is a superstar, quite a little cow pony, with just the odd leap sideways to keep his rider awake.

For any Arab people reading, do you think that there are a disproportionate number of Arabs who are a bit stressy about stables? So many of the Arabs I know have some sort of problem about being stabled.
