It’s not ranch-size anymore with only 5.7 acre and it’s not in McCormick Ranch, it’s a bit north.
The main house of the Brusally Ranch and surrounding land received approval for 4 new homes plus the original ranch house.
The Arizona Arabian horse industry started at Brusally Ranch in the 1960’s.
Many Arabian horses can trace their lineage to those bred at the original 160-acre Brusally Ranch by Ed Tweed, founder and first president of the state’s Arabian Horse Association.
Tweed’s importation of about two dozen Arabians from Poland in the 1960s put Scottsdale on the equestrian world’s map, according to historian Tobi Taylor, owner of Coronado Ranch in Tucson, which breeds Brusally Arabians.
You can see the remains of the area’s equine tradition in McCormick Ranch in the naming of the streets in the Paradise Park Trails subdivision, just south of Shea Blvd. The main loop is E. Arabian Trail and most of the other streets are “horse breed” followed by “Trail,” such as E. Quarterhorse Trail.
Here’s some trivia! Notice that those equine street names are unique to Paradise Park Trails, you don’t see them east or west of McCormick Ranch.
