In the late 1930s Stanwyck co-owned a 140 acre thoroughbred horse breeding farm with her agent Zeppo Marx. The farm known as Marwyck farms later became Northridge Farms, and was located north of Lassen Street along Reseda Boulevard in Northridge, California. In the 1940s Northridge called itself the "Horse Capital of the West." See Kevin Rodericks excellent article about movie stars in the San Fernando Valley at http://www.americassuburb.com/wood.html
