Colorized Ibn Mahruss Print

The captions for this photo were: “Mahruos, Arabian Stallion of the Santa Anita Ranch-1914 California History Print” and “At the ranch near Pasadena, the horse belonged to Mrs. Anita Baldwin McClaughry, daughter of E. J. Baldwin (noted California pioneer). ”

Mahruos is, of course, a misnomer for Ibn Mahruss, who was owned by Anita Baldwin around this time. The leg and facial markings match up with other known photos of the stallion, as well.

For any who haven’t seen it – there is a 1916 Santa Anita Rancho and Anoakia Breeding Farm Private Catalogue available for viewing online, located here.
