Thanks to a generous gift from Ruth “Bazy” Tankersley, the Al-Marah Equine Center has become an important facility for equine instruction, research and community engagement at the University of Arizona. The 80-acre working ranch nestled within the foothills of Tucson’s Catalina Mountains was originally developed by Tankersley to breed, train, and market Al-Marah Arabian horses, which are regarded the world over to be among the premier Arabian lineages. The horses at the facility are owned by the School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences and are used to support the College of Agriculture, Life, and Environmental Sciences equine science program.
