Lila ~ I'm not sure if he is pure Crabbet but if he's not he must be a high percentage Look him up on All Breeds - African Emir
Oddellie ~ I believe Kismet was by African Gold, who was the sire of my stallion [his picture is in my signature]. I remember her as a youngster at Moat House ~ she was a lovely filly and I'm sure she has turned out into a lovely mare. |

Now the problem as I see it for the pure crabbet arab is that it is now becoming very inbred and has a shrinking gene pool. Never a good thing.

That is why I suggested to get some from Australia. Because they still have a larger gene pool and different to ours. They have alot of Riffal descendents and also Abiram ones.
So we would get the bay colour back as well as new genes.

Is African Emir at stud or for sale? I have seen him tied to his trailer at a show, just like any old gelding, lovely temperament. I thought he was all Crabbet or must be very high percent if not, and virtually the only bay I can think of.
I might be able to breed to Sibelius by Ghibli next year, anyone know his percentage? |

African Emir is 99,80%+ Crabbet, 100% Old English! He has one line to Algol (75%) via Farette. ALL the other lines in his pedigree is 100% Crabbet. Would be nice to see a picture of him!!
Edit: I'll check up the % for Sibelius tomorrow!

I'm sure she will.
I suppose the more enquiries she gets for him, the more it will encourage her

I have an Crabbet/Old English/General Stud book she also has abit of Polish She is 66% (she is the one in my sig) and I want to put her in foal next year and I would like to show in Crabbet Classes So I need a high percentage Stallion. I am looking at a stallion who is 99.5% what will that give me.

WOOW.. African Emir is really a lovely Boy!!! His damline goes to Queen Of Sheba, which I think is not so common?
Pat, I've checked Sibelius.. and he is 93,51% Crabbet (93,505855%) and has a line to Courthouse via g-grand dam Dil Kushi! Double Ludo (tripple Blue Domino) and double Indian King among other famous ones can only be good!!

Thank you for doing the percentage. He has been an under used stallion, as has African Emir, due to their location in North Wales which could only support a few stallions and there were more popular sires available.
It would be a shame to lose these bloodlines, neither is a young horse. |

Dil Kushi is the single source of the Basilisk line, and if it hadn't been for Eileen, the family wouldn't exist today. They are bl**dy top class horses for showing, doing - the lot and deserve to be kept going.
Pat, got your email - very, *very* sorry for not having replied, but my email has been completely trashed by Virgin's 'service improvement', which is why I haven't got back to you. Will try to sort it out Monday evening and get in touch.
