Star [Bridgewater's] c 1725

Arabian. Star was bred by Scrope Egerton
(1681-1745), the 1st Duke of Bridgewater, who also owned his sire,
Ashridge Ball, from a mare by Richards' Arabian at Hampton Court.
Ashridge was the Hertfordshire seat of the Earls and Dukes
of Bridgewater which is now the Bonar Law College. Star was a half brother to Portland Arabian Mare, the dam of

confused in the General Stud Book with Mr Norris's Star.
