gladys yule died within a year of judith blunt-lytton (lady wentworth), who had inherited crabbet from her parents and run it for 40 years. the deaths of these two only children, at a time of high inheritance tax, meant that in 1957 a substantial number of british-bred arabian horses left the country, improving the breed's bloodlines elsewhere. the hanstead horses were appreciated in the united states and in south africa.
