The Kellogg Arabians have had a long history with the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. In late 1959, the Pasadena Independent-Star newspaper ran a big article on BALEYN (Alla Amarward x Babeyn), who was participating in the 1960 Rose Parade. BALEYN was a grandson of the Kellogg Arabian stallion RALET, by *RASEYN."
