100% Crabbet
Lost at sea in 1887 aged 5
Clipping of Jeroboam from hypoint@Fotki. The text reads:
"JEROBOAM, 1882, bred by Crabbet, by Pharoah out of Jerboa.
"Fine coat, always with a gloss of satin on it, this was inherited from both dam and sire. Remarkably good in harness, single and double. Jeroboam perished at sea, in consequence of bad weather, and of being on a small steamer of about 500 tons. He was shipped in October 1887, with Rataplan, under charge of Webb, for Egypt, and died on the voyage..'
"Jeroboam has an honourable position with us as sire of Rosemary from who some of our best stock is descended.
Notes:
"A.I.N.B." is Anne Isabella Noel Blunt, aka Lady Anne Blunt
Rataplan 1874 was evidently desert-bred as no sire/dam are listed. He had 8 offspring from 1887 and 1888.
