It goes without saying that there are many beautiful sights at Varian Arabians but the one that resonated with me the most wasn't from the amazing museum filled with trophies, photos and memorabilia from Sheila Varian's legacy. My wanderings led me to discovering the round pen (and I knew there had to be one!) complete with working gear ready for the next horse and this was IT for me! Those trophies and awards didn't come without wet saddle blankets. Before there was silver, there was ropes and leather and sweat.
