HARVIESTOUN BARONESS 



146. Harviestoun Baroness 16886, is the best known importeel 

 Clydesdale mare of recent years. Foaled May 21, 1906, the 

 property of J. Ernest Kerk, Harviestoun Castle, Dollar, Scot- 

 land, she developed slowly but soundly until in 1912, at six 

 years of age, she won the Cawdor Cup at the Highland an4 

 Agricultural Show. She was sired by the never-to-be-forgotten 

 Baron's Pride and out of one of Mr. Kerr's most notable brood 

 mares, Ambrosine (17817) dam of a long list of Scottish win- 

 ners. Following the Highland Show, she was sent to the service 

 of Wm. Dunlop's 1910 Cawdor Cup winner, Dunure Footprint, 

 and in late summer was exported to the United States to Mr. R. A. 

 Fairbairn, Fairholme Farms, New Market, N. J. That fall she 

 won an easy championship at the International and the following 

 June dropped the notable Fairholme Footprint (125). Again in 

 1913 and 1916 she returned to the International to capture the 

 grand championship each time. In 1917 she gave birth to a 

 capital youngster by Golden Knight. The dam of five colts, her 

 breeding career was cut short when she met with an accidental 

 death in the spring of 1918. As a brood and show mare she is 

 entirely unparalleled in recent years.
