Avonbrook stud is a small family run concern near Pershore
in Worcestershire where the focus is very much on breeding
quality horses with relaxed trainable temperaments and the
potential to do every job from showing to eventing.
The senior stallion, Marcus
Aurelius, is predominantly Crabbet
Arabian with Davenport lines through his grandsire Ben Rabba.
Through Ben Rabba he is also in direct male descent from
Nasik - an important Crabbet line that was lost in the UK
until the lease of Ben Rabba by Beatrice Paine for the 1979
and 1980 breeding seasons.
Marcus Aurelius has
shown his ability to pass on his temperament, athleticism
and quality to his youngstock - the first of which have come
into ridden work.
In 2012, he will again stand in the UK by natural covering
and chilled and frozen AI. Frozen semen is also available for UK and
export to Europe, Australia and New Zealand - see
stallion page for details.
