Raffles White Stallion, foaled 1926-1953 by Skowronek ex Rifala (Skowronek-Rissla) Bred by: Lady Wentworth, Crabbet Stud Strain: Kehailan Rodan Registrations: GSB #841 / AHR #952 Purchased by Mr Roger Selby and exported to Ohio, USA in 1932, he was one of the most famous examples of inbreeding. One story tells that Lady Wentworth purposely bred the tiny Rifala back to her own sire in the hope of getting a colt small enough (he stood just 13.2 hands) to use on her Welsh ponies! However, there is no evidence to suggest that Lady Wentworth ever attempted to use Raffles in this way. He was thought to be sterile at the time of his sale to Roger Selby in 1932, a problem he later overcame. He was named the 1933 National Three-Gaited Champion at the National Arabian Show in Nashville and had a huge impact as a stallion in the USA siring 123 registered foals. He was much noted for his wonderful sons including Indraff, Azraff, Hanraff, Aaraf, Rapture etc. Amazingly he survived a broken leg in 1949 at the age 23. He spent most of his life at the Selby Stud although his final days were spent with Alice Payne (who also had his half brother Raseyn). He died from natural causes at the age of 27 on May 11th 1953.
