And Ride Away Singing (1998) is Mary Jane Parkinson’s landmark tribute to Ruth “Bazy” Tankersley and the Al-Marah Arabian breeding program. Blending biography with deep pedigree and breeding analysis, Parkinson traces Bazy’s journey from youthful enchantment with Arabians to the creation of one of the most influential studs in the world.

Bazy Tankersley bred over 2,800 registered Arabians in her lifetime and Al-Marah is widely regarded as one of the longest-running and most important private Arabian herds in the world. Her horses and breeding approach influenced countless breeders internationally.

The book preserves Al-Marah’s history, highlights key horses and bloodlines, and offers a lasting look at the philosophy that helped shape the modern Arabian horse in the United States.
