- 94% in halter carried Varian blood
- 100% in performance carried Varian blood

JULLYEN EL JAMAAL Stat: The Jullyen get dominated the western pleasure arenas, second only to Sundance Kid V (by Desperado V), with Monaco Jullyen V (Varian-bred) bringing home a top ten in Arabian Western Pleasure Open; Lancelot Jullyen V (Varian-bred) Top Ten in the $100,000 AWPA Western Pleasure Futurity and PA Tantara Always (a Jullyen El Jamaal grandson crossed with Varian lines) taking home the lucrative Championship title in the $100,000 AWPA Western Pleasure Futurity.

***Summary: 100% of the horses in the 2016 $100,000 AWPA Arabian Western Pleasure Futurity Championships – the richest jackpot class ever to be offered in the Arabian wester pleasure divisions – carried Varian lines, demonstrating the power of Varian bred horses who overwhelmingly dominate the western divisions, particularly with Sundance Kid V. Sundance Kid V, a Desperado V son, is fast becoming to western divisions what Afire Bey V was to the English divisions. The Jullyen-bred horses crossed with Varian lines are also a dominant force.
$100,000 AWPA WESTERN PLESURE FUTURITY Stat: Two of the top ten horses in the $100,000 AWPA Western Pleasure Futurity were Jullyen-bred horses crossed with Varian lines.
A Note From Angela:
Varian Arabians extends its profound congratulations to all the winners in Tulsa who carried Varian lines. We are proud of what Sheila created, and we are enthusiastic about carrying it into the future and continuing to cheer on our owners and breeders with V horses. They speak for themselves. This year's U.S. Nationals is for you.
