Legacy

Oran Van Bandy

Oran Van Bandy was a large (15.2 hand) Crabbet/Egyptian bred stallion of exceptional quality with a powerful trot and textbook conformation. Oran Van Bandy produced not only outstanding English horses but also exceptional Sport Horses in all divisions and endurance horses. He was listed by the Arabian Horse Association in the Top 25 Stallions for producing Sport Horses in the last 50 years. Many, including Bob Hart, Sr., the trainer of Oran Van Crabbet, consider Oran Van Bandy to be Oran Van Crabbet’s best son. Although the number of Purebred and Half Arabian foals he sired was quite small compared to his contemporaries, his get have won over 50 US Top Tens in English Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, and Halter and 7 National or Reserve Championships in Park, English, and Halter. Some of his best foals included: WP Rosanna Orana, Wham Bam Oran, Vanna Oran, Oran Van Boom, Oran’s Continuo, and Mr. Bandy Sir.

WP Rosanna Orana

WP Rosanna Orana was the result of crossing Oran Van Bandy on a Hackney Pony mare of Carnation King breeding. Rosanna matured at 14.2 hands but had exceptional beauty combined with extraordinary talent. Started at the age of 4, she became a sensation in the Junior Horse division and showed in perhaps one of the most exciting Junior Half Arabian English Pleasure classes ever at US Nationals. In the final year at Louisville, it was a showdown between Rosanna and Adam’s Fire. What a performance by both horses! While Rosanna was awarded US Reserve National Champion, Wiloma Plantation was so proud to compete successfully at that level. Rosanna went on to win US National Champion in HA Park AOTR and Reserve National Champion in HA Pleasure Driving Open. Rosanna passed away in the fall of 2022.

Oran Van Crabbet

*Oran Van Crabbet was the first Arabian horse in American history to win three National Championships in Park, Formal Combination, and Formal Driving. He was bred by Wentworth Crabbet Park and Burton Studs in England, foaled in 1960, and imported the same year. He was trained and shown by Bob Hart, and he placed first or second in every Park class he ever entered, and he remained undefeated in Formal Driving and Formal Combination. His performance career had a grand total of 26 firsts, 8 seconds, 13 Championships, and 5 Reserves.

Gladys Brown Edwards wrote, “I have seen Oran Van Crabbet at the Nationals in several performances. On those occasions, he was in my opinion, perfection in style, action, and appearance. His head was properly set; his action was high but balanced fore and aft; cadenced and proudly performed. Although tail carriage has nothing to do with performance, it definitely adds to appearance, style, and of course, type, and the high arch in which Oran Van Crabbet carried his tail beautifully complimented his high held neck and properly set head. The stallion was bred for performance as far as pedigree goes; but even more noticeable – to those who care little about action – is his highly fashionable ancestry. He is a half-brother to those great sires (full brothers) *Serafix and *Silver Drift, since his dam is that superior Crabbet broodmatron *Serafina. His sire Oran needs no introduction, thanks to his prizewinning descendants all over the world. *Oran Van Crabbet is a delight to watch and was in winning his National Classes, the ideal for this type of work whether in harness, in Formal Driving and Combination, or under saddle as a Park Horse.”
