From our Arieana Notebook: Jeroboam was highly favored at Crabbet. We have these notes as written about him by Lady Anne Blunt: "Fine coat, always with a gloss of satin on it, this was inherited from both dam and sire [Pharaoh]. 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 [Sam] Webb, for Egypt, and died on the voyage." "Jeroboam has an honourable position with us as sire of Rosemary from whom some of our best stock is descended." (All notes and photo derived from A Century of Crabbet Breeding.

From our Arieana Notebook: Joon is noted in several sources as a foundation sire for the William R. Hearst Stud at San Simeon, California. The exact date and circumstances of Mr. Hearst's purchase of Joon are unknown to us and we are still seeking out that information, but we do know that as early as 1919, William Randolph Hearst began to admire, ride, and breed Arabian horses. Since the above photo includes stallions purchased during the Maynesboro dispersal sale, this photo would most likely have been taken circa 1937; Joon is identified as the first stallion on the left.
