HOMM Will Awards it World s Fair Bowmanville's. Robert Beith, a former Member of Parliament for Durham, was among Canada's most outstanding horsemen. . His Wavcrley Hackney Farm brought considerable fame to the area for its outstanding horses. The third son of Alexander Beith, Robert Beith was bom in Darlington Township in 1843. His father came to Canada from Argyleshire, Scotland, Scotland, in 1835. Beith was associated with his uncle, uncle, Robert, in the handling and importing importing of thoroughbred Clydesdale horses, but he later turned his attention attention to hackneys. ■ His horses were prize-winners at shows in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Toronto, Buffalo and many other major major centres. In 1904, his horse, Saxon, was declared champion at the St. Louis World's Fair. At the same World's Fair, four Bowmanville horses captured four first prizes, two championships and one grand championship. At a subsequent sale, Saxon fetched a price of $5,550. Sixty other other animals from the stable were sold for an average price of $500 each. Considering the fact that the construction construction of the entire Bowmanville Town Hall look a little over $12,000, the prices paid for these animals were truly astronomical. The Waverley Stables hackneys remained in the forefront of the equestrian world between 1885 and 1919. The book "Bowmanville" A Retrospect," Retrospect," notes that the horses travelled travelled in a special express horse car which stood on the siding of the old GTR station. Even the important passenger mains would stop to shunt a carload of celebrity horses onto the train. This special treatment was ample proof that there was something extra special about the horses.
