User:Montanabw/Anne McCormick
Bazy Tankersley was not the only member of the McCormick family to raise Arabians in Arizona. Cousin Harold "Fowler" McCormick, Jr. and his wife Anne "Fifi" McCormick, [a] founded the McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale in 1943. Anne McCormick began breeding horses, and in 1948 bought her first Arabian stallion, Mustafa,[1] a horse of Crabbet and Davenport lineage, from a Tucson area breeder.[2] She is considered the person who brought Arabian horse breeding to the Scottsdale area and was one of the founders of the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show,[3] now the largest Arabian horse show in the world.[4] Paralleling Bazy's efforts, McCormick imported three Arabians from the Crabbet Stud, and then in 1963, McCormick imported the stallion *Naborr from Poland via England. When she died in 1969, *Naborr sold for a then-record price of $150,000 at the McCormick estate sale.[5]
