“Never following trends and always aiming to breed the type of horse he designed in his head, led to not only one of the strongest programs of all time, but an extremely identifiable brand, with value and marketability. Palmetto horses are mentally and physically easy to work with because they didn’t allow any to continue in the program without following suit in having that balance.”
~ Rob Bick
“When you get to a National show and you see something so beautiful and powerful jogging around, the first thing you do is hope it’s not in your class. The next thing you do is ask who it is.

Owning a horse like Zefyr+// during his 3 consecutive U.S. National Western Pleasure Championships and additional Reserve was a thrill of a lifetime!
He’s a huge jewel for his sire Sundance Kid V who sired an additional 6 National Top Ten Western Pleasure horses during that run, and I am so proud that Zefyr+// will unmistakably go down in history as one of the best.”

“Congratulations to Palmetto Arabians on achieving in such a short time what others work towards in a lifetime. I have been honored to not only ride many PA horses but watch the development of the entire program. Probably the most valuable thing you learned from Sheila Varian was to breed the horse YOU want.
May Dancer V was the first of many in my relationship with you both. You were fairly new to the industry, so it was a time where I thought I could teach you a lot. And now almost 25 years later, wow, it is I who has learned so much. Thank you for the friendship, support and every opportunity along the way.” ~ Rob Bick
“When it comes to breeders of top performance horses in our industry, Palmetto Arabians has always set the bar extremely high. Their thoughtful breeding program has produced some of the best, most competitive horses over the last several decades.
We are incredibly proud to own the Multi-National Champion PA Frontier Kid, and will do our best to continue the Palmetto Arabians legacy through him and his progeny.
Thank you Frank and Sara Chisholm, Sarah O’Brien and everyone at Palmetto Arabians!”

“As a small breeding program, a lot of time and consideration goes into who will sire our foals. Ten years ago, we crossed our Quarter Horse mare, I Am A Dun Diva to PA Kid Khan. WC Khanspiracy became Kid Khan’s first ever Half-Arabian foal. This cross ignited a partnership with Palmetto Arabians that has changed the trajectory of our breeding program.
The PA Kid Khan and I Am A Dun Diva cross has been duplicated six times. Today, we are anxiously awaiting cheering WC Khanvicted (PA Kid Khan x I Am A Dun Diva) in the AWPA at U.S. Nationals with Colby Powell. We are excited to have continued the connection to Palmetto Arabians as we anticipate the arrival of the 2024 cross between PA Frontier Kid and I Am A Dun Diva.
Thank you, Frank and Sara, for making our dreams come true.”

“Coming up with the words to say how thankful I am to Palmetto Arabians is difficult. Both of you have always been supportive of me and have given me many opportunities in my show career and life. I am and will always be grateful to both of you.
Over the years, I have been honored to show many Palmetto horses, with the most memorable being PA Phoenix Kid. Having produced Phoenix’s first foal Endeavor TDF with whom I have achieved many accomplishments, is just the beginning of how Palmetto has influenced my breeding program. I always dreamed of owning Phoenix and last year Frank allowed that dream to come true. I hope to continue the legacy of Palmetto with Phoenix and his incredible offspring.” ~

Congratulations on your truly iconic breeding program that the Varian ‘V” is so loud and proud to be a part of as you both are certainly part of us, too.
For your devotion to the Arabian Horse, and all you have done for the farm, we are forever grateful!
Cheers to our amazing friends, and the horses who brought us together!” Love, Angela
“When you guys invited me to my first horse, I bet you never would have thought I would get hooked (let alone show a halter horse)!
Cheers to the laughs and love to the entire gang ... two legged and four! What great memories the horses have allowed us to have.” ~ Tommy

“We will never forget our first introduction at Varian Arabians in 1999. The Arabian horse brought us all together. We had so many great times together at shows, in Charleston … our trip to Menton and Italy! There was Cliff and co-pilot Frank invading the palace in Monaco, and Michelle and Sara’s camping trip/ride with Sheila, Dave Stamey and friends in the High Sierras.
And now a chapter closes - it’s ‘pumpkin time.’ We love you Frank and Sara!”
~ Cliff & Michelle“It’s very rare for a professional relationship turn into a friendship. When I met Frank and Sara, they were looking for a horse to lease from Poland. After a few trips to Poland and meetings, it was clear to me that I came across very special people. Palmetto’s contribution to the Arabian breed is undoubtedly major, but for me, Frank and Sara will always be some of the most wonderful people I’ve met in my life.”
~ George Z
“We met as people sharing interest in breeding competitive Arabian horses. Decades, miles, horses, wine, and horse shows later, we still call each other friends! Congratutions!”
~ Frank & Carol
“Who else can say they delivered a foal during a rock concert?!”
“One day I had to go to Frank to tell him about a mistake I made and I will never forget his response:
‘The only people who don’t make mistakes are people who aren’t doing anything at all.’
That will stick with me forever and I use it frequently!”
“As an industry, thank you is not enough gratitude expressed to Frank and Sara for their contribution to the Arabian Horse. On a personal level, thank you is not enough, but times ten! I appreciate the chance they took on me to build their farm into a business, teaching me along the way, trusting my horse knowledge and encouraging me to continue to grow.
The Chisholms became so much more than bosses or employers to me and I cherish the adventures, learning experiences, and successes we had together.” ~ Melissa
Frank and Sara, “It’s hard to put into words what you and Palmetto have meant to me and my family. Thank you for not only introducing me to the Arabian Horse, but also every opportunity you have given me over the last 9 years. You have truly changed my life. It’s been an incredible ride and I’m honored to have been part of the legacy that is Palmetto Arabians.”
Love Always, Sarah, Casey and Sullivan
