Varian Breeding Dominates Both $100,000 English & Western Futurities

The two most lucrative individual classes of the year – the $100,000 AWPA Western Pleasure Futurity and the AEPA $100,000 Saddle Seat Futurity – were absolutely dominated with horses carrying Varian blood. In true fashion, Varian lines represented the top competition in opposite divisions, being found in all but one of the 19 horses that made up the Top Ten, Reserve Champion and National Champion of both classes. Each year is a stunning reminder of just how deep Varian lines can be found in our modern-day champions.

A Note From Angela:

Varian Arabians extends its profound congratulations to all the winners in Tulsa who carry 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.
