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,  founded the McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale in 1943. Anne McCormick began breeding horses, and in 1948 bought her first Arabian stallion, Mustafa, a horse of Crabbet and Davenport lineage, from a Tucson area breeder. 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, now the largest Arabian horse show in the world. 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.
