PAGETT ARABIAN C, THOROUGHBRED, ~1700
| Correctly named the Pagett Arabian by Prior. In Royal Studs, p. 81, Prior says: "Lord Oxford also imported two Arabian horses from Turkey for his stud at Welbeck in 1711. The Pagett Arabian, extensively used at Welbeck, was sent by (William, sixth) Lord Pagett to the Duke of Newcastle in April, 1703, and as was often the case with these early importations is called a Turk in books of reference, but was duly entered as an Arabian at the Welbeck Stud."
