Elenbee's R-Rated (Red) is a wonderful character, a very versatile stallion, deep chestnut in colour standing 14.2 hh. Excellent conformation, exceptional character and temperament, lovely flowing movement, beautiful natural carriage with much style and presence. Born of impeccable Crabbet bloodlines as the result of mating supreme multiple USA Champion and 'Blue List' sire "Rasmoniet RSI" with Australian Champion mare "Cameo Windsprite" (by Chip Chase Desert Wind). The Egyptian and Crabbet bloodlines contained within this sire are sought after throughout the world as being some of the best Arabian blood that has stood the test of time.
Infamous "Nazeer" is one of the world's highest regarded Arabian sires of all time, and is the great grandsire of Elenbee's R-Rated, being linebred 3 x 3 in his pedigree. Nazeer is rarely found as closely in a pedigree these days and the linebreeding to him has proven dominant in the quality that Elenbee's R-Rated produces.

This stallion is quite different to your average Arabian. He is of stronger bone and conformation (particularly through the hind quarters and hocks - a common weak point in many Arabs), he has strong hooves, his head is not dished, and his temperament is exceptional. (He can be led on a simple halter, anywhere, anytime by anyone! and often lives beside our weanlings, loving to play with them over the gate.)

He consistently passes on to progeny his excellent conformation, straight flowing movement, beautiful friendly sensible intelligent temperament, interested attitude to life, and heaps of "look at me" X-factor. He is also known for passing on beautiful heads and presence, with all of his foals containing his friendly kind inquisitive nature and talkative character.

The original Thoroughbred industry was established during the reign of Charles the 2nd (1660-1685) by crossing an Arabian stallion with 7 English mares. These bloodlines have developed into the speed and elegance of todays Thoroughbred industry. These British Thoroughbreds have spread throughout the world as the racing industry developed in popularity.

The Arab horse is known for its large dark eyes, small ears, arched neck, fast free floating athletic action, stamina and toughness making them extremely versatile. The Arab is often used to improve other breeds, they are very intelligent and sensitive making superb willing companions.

As well as the Anglo-Arab (Arab x Thoroughbred cross), an interesting mating that we are also keen to develop is the Arabian Warmblood. This breed is becoming increasingly popular throughout Australia as it gains credit in the show ring and dressage/jumping arenas. The Arabian sire over Warmblood mares follows the old and proven adage of "blood over bone", producing elegance, movement, presence and charisma with good bone, height and athleticism for a top sporthorse prospect.
Elenbee's R-Rated is also an outstanding sire choice for pony mares, adding agility, elegance, presence and style to ponies to produce top quality show and all-round performers with very kind, intelligent temperaments. His young trail riding/endurance progeny in New Zealand are also fast becoming very well known for their excellent low heart rates and sure-footed ability over distance. Keep a look out for the names Astek Lauralea and Astek Fantastek!

Elenbee's R-Rated's young New Zealand progeny all display wonderful character and conformation, lovely straight flowing movement, heaps of natural presence, and are very kind, intelligent, willing learners. These youngstock never fail to impress - we are certain that you too will be impressed by your foal to this sire!

The stud fee is excellent value for such a consistent and proven sire of champions. Inspection is welcome by appointment!
