(Note: The Polish and Russian Studs used MANY Crabbet horses as foundations
along with their own native mares and imported stock, thus they
may also be considered "Crabbet" related. The Royal Egyptian Stud
imported over 19 horses from Crabbet in the early 1900s.
Some "straight" Egyptians have significant % Crabbet blood also.
Thus, just about EVERY Arabian you meet EXCEPT the PURE Davenports
and a very few rare Al Khamsa horses have Crabbet blood of some
amount.
