When you think of Varian Arabians, it is Sheila who comes to mind and all of the amazing horses she has bred. It does not matter if it is a halter, saddle seat, western, hunt, or working western horse, in some way or form, the Varian name is in the pedigree, and we have been lucky to have some of her breeding program in our pedigrees at Cedar Ridge. Credit must be given to Sheila for all of the years that she has contributed to the Arabian horse breed. Some people come and go, but Sheila was always consistent. She had a product that she believed in and so did others—when she spoke, you listened.
We wish Angela Alvarez the best of luck in carrying on the Varian tradition. There is no one better who knew how Sheila would want to continue. Sheila, we hope the Arabian community does you proud, and the “V” is carried on for years to come. Love, Dick, Lollie & Lara Ames
