The records document the organization and activities of Greentree Stud and Stable, a family-owned thoroughbred horse racing and breeding enterprise established by Helen Hay Whitney and Payne Whitney in the 1910s. The collection primarily consists of meeting minutes, reports, financial and legal records, correspondence, photographs, topical files, and newspaper clippings created or maintained by Greentree Stud and Stable. The records document many aspects of the organization, including its history, structure, and activities, primarily from the 1950s to its dissolution in 1994. Its horses, legal and financial activities, and dissolution are particularly well documented. The records provide a valuable resource on one of the most enduring and successful family thoroughbred racing and breeding operations in the United States.
