A Mother's Love................

There are times when only a Mother's love..........
Can understand our tears.............,
Can soothe our disappoints.........
And calm all of our fears..........

There are times when only a Mother's love.........
Can share the joy we feel....
When something we've dreamed about....
Quite suddenly is real.....

There are times when only a Mother's faith....
Can help us on life's way....
And inspire in us the confidence...
We need from day to day....

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith...
And a Mother's steadfast love...
Were fashioned by the Angels....
And sent from God above...

Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show....

Since 1955 the Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show has set the pace in the Arabian horse world. The first show was held at the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel which was a beautiful setting for a horse show. The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show was a first class show from the very first day.



After the show's beginnings at the Arizona Biltmore, Ann McCormick bought 150 acres in Scottsdale and made it into the horse facility known as Paradise Park which served the needs of the show for many years.


Since that time, the show has been held at Westworld in Scottsdale. It has grown from 50 horses to nearly 2400 horses bringing top owners, trainers and breeders from around the world competing for a chance at winning. A win at Scottsdale can mean big money in the breeding barns.
