HARVIESTOUN BARONESS 
146. Harviestoun Baroness 16886, is the best known imported 
Clydesdale mare of recent years. Foaled May 21, 1906, the 
property of J. Ernest Kerr, 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 and 
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 Wa. Duntop’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.
