AKA Leedes's Brown Arabian AKA Northumberland Arabian owend by Mr. Leedes of North Melford, Yorkshire; the name was changed after selling to Mr. Leedes; in GSB 1793, Vol.1 (Northumberland Arabian) Sire of Ariadne Mr Phillips was sent into Arabia by the Earl of Northumberland, purposely to select and purchase for his Lordship such Arabian horses and Mares as might appear best calculated to improve the breed of horses in this country. The brown Arabian was a private stallion and Lord Northumberland's stud until the year 1766, when he served mares at Mr Leede's at 3gs and 5s. Mr. Phillips imported "the Brown Arabian" along with "the Golden Arabian", as he was distinguished in Lord Northumberland's stud. He was sire of his Lordship's Aurora, Ermine, Jew and a few others.
