Story at a Glance

Horse breeding center makes extensive use of pressure treated wood . treated poles were used throughout in a variety of applications . facility is one of the f inest in the world of the Pacific surf, Kama Farms was designed by architect Kenneth E. Anderson of San Diego, in consultation with Leon R. Durham, of Treated Pole Builders. Inc.. Ontario, in charge of construction.

Virtually every major building on the site, as well as more than five miles of fencing, incorporates extensive use ofwood pressure treated by the 'oCellon" process, a Koppers Company development, or with Wolman salts, for protection against decay and insect attack.

Stallion in residence at the establishment is record-breaking Gladwin, winner of both the Amory L. Haskell Handicap and the Hawthorne Gold Cup. In the latter event the horse set a new track time of l:58a/s for the mile and a quarter - fastest recorded for that distance in the U.S.A.

The main barn, in early California ranch style, is so pleasing to the eye that owner Anderson decided to make use of one wing of the structure for personal quarters, as well as offices. Floor boards of each of the

28 stalls within the barn are pressure treated with Wolman salts.

One of the most advanced of its type is a specially designed training ring, 50' in diameter at the base, using eight Cellon pressure treated poles canted outward to provide a maximum of safety for both horse and rider.

A 30'x 80'open hay barn, l8'in height, with a 225-ton capacity, utilizes I0 Cellon pressure treated poles, widely separated to facilitate use of forklifts and other handling equipment.

Thousands of Cellon pressure treated posts went into construction of the seemingly endless stretches of white rail fence used for lanes, pastures and perimeter enclosure.

Owner Anderson already has received advance indication that Kama Farms, unlike many thoroughbred horse breeding and training ranches, can prove selfsustaining, or even profitable.

"Gladwin, since taking up stud duties,'o he happily reports, "has been booked solid."
