The 100-year history of the Crabbet Stud of England and its colorful owners makes fascinating reading. Contains numerous photos and information about the Arabian horses of the world's most influential Arabian horse breeding farm. A separate index of horses' names makes it easy to find photos and information for most of the horses bred or owned by Crabbet. A cornerstone of any modern Arabian horse library. 392 pages, 182 b&w photos, maps. Formerly out-of-print.
Reviewer's Comments:
"This book is a dream come true. The price may seem a bit high, but it's worth every dime (or shilling). The numerous pictures include many which have never before been published, with some of the horses most of us have never seen pictured before, while others are different views of those we have seen often. Moreover their quality of reproduction is excellent and they are not retouched!
"Until you read it, you can hardly see how they [the Blunts] kept on, what with money problems, family problems, and the anti-Arab feeling in England... This book is a necessity for all Arabian owners and breeders."
- Gladys Brown Edwards in Arabian Horse World magazine.
