. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. August 13, 1898] ®Jjs $veeb&c anJ ^povt&txxtxtu 90 THE BAYWOOD STUD, A California Farm Where High-Olass Carriage and Saddle Horses are Bred and Trained. It is a pleasant ride by rail to San Mateo, leaving the city at 9 A. M. and reaching in less than a hour the beautiful little city which lieB in the midat of one of California's choicest garden spots, sheltered by a mountain range from the rough winds of the ocean, while relieved from summer heat by the waters of the bay and the gentle breezes that come from its surface. Here where umbrageous oaks grow io profusion, where soil is rich and climate perfect, many of the wealthiest California families have built their homes. Alighting from the train, a five minutes ride behind a hand- some and well mannered high stepper brings one to "The Bungalow," the property of Mr. John Parrott, where that enterprising Californian has established " The Baywood Stud," devoted exclusively to the breeding and training of high-class harness and saddle horses. In 1893 Mr. Parrott purchased imported Green's Rufue, a grand looking, fin>t prize winning Hackney stallion, and a few fall blood hackney mares. To these as a foundation, he has added about twenty-five head of trotting bred mares of his own selection, not caring so much for blood lines as for conformation, and that indispensable quality in a high class carriage animalâa disposition to raise the knees and hocks, and show all the style possible. Mr. Parrott has fixed in his mind an ideal horse which he desires to breed and though it will be a year before the first results of his efforts are ready for the New York sales ring, there are many animals now on his place that give proof that he is coming nearer to his de- sired idea than the majority of breeders. To raise good horses, judicious mating is not only necessary, out judicious feeding as well, and surely the sucklings, wean- Jings, yearlings and two-year-olds now
