RESERVE

“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.”

“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. Nine times out of 10, it’s a Palmetto horse. Congratulations on being breeders who raised the bar for all of us!” ~ Jody Strand

SIRE OF THE MOST WINNINGEST WESTERN PLEASURE HORSES OF ALL TIME

“Seeing a stallion crowned National Champion in Open Western Pleasure from the stands is a gift to all who’ve loved them. 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.”

2013, 2014 & 2015 U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPION ARABIAN WESTERN PLEASURE WITH JODY STRAND

“Comfortably the best individual I’ve ever sat on, and at 21 years old, no matter who gets to ride him on any given day in his retirement, Zefyr goes around the ring with a drape in his rein; business as usual. If he was a football player, he would have been Barry Sanders. He’s just that cool. He gave me moments I never dreamed of.

Truly the Horse of a Lifetime!”

Proudly owned and loved by Palmetto Arabians

“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!”

“Being a part of the Palmetto Aarabians legacy is an honor. I am truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to purchase PA Ventura Kid in the 2019 Palmetto Platinum Sale. Frank Chisholm’s incredible vision for his breeding program created top quality, trainable, kind horses that have given so many people like me the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Thank you to Frank and to Sarah Stone for being an essential part of the jouney Vinie and I are on ... we look forward to achieving even greater success together and making you proud!” ~ Jacqui Reed

“A handful of individuals can look back and say they created a legacy. Palmetto Arabians will forever be etched in history as one of the greats. Billie Jean King said it best, ‘Create your legacy and pass the baton.’ No words can describe the joy Palmetto has brought to the Arabian breed and is now the foundation of our farm.

It has been an honor to represent the brand.”

“It is a true gift to have been part of this astonishing mare’s life and to be associated with the incomparable Palemtto Arabians and Sundance Kid V. Thank You just doesn’t seem like enough.”

Frank and Sara, “There are truly no words to describe what your horses and program mean to Jimmy and I. PA Appalonia Dancer is my heart horse. She has given us so many adventures and two outstanding colts who will continue to shine in Sundance’s light.

PA Mikkella ... I knew you wanted her to be with us and what a thrill it was to have her be the first Arabian National Champion Performance Halter Mare and my new western pleasure horse.

It’s been an honor to be listed with you in the breeding awards as your influence has been key to our program.

Thank you for making the Arabian horse so diverse and the best family horse at the same time.”

All the best in your future, Lisa & Jimmy, Kyrie 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.”

From our family to yours, Cindy and Brandi

“Thank you, Frank and Sara, for your dedication to the Arabian Horse. Your commitment to thoughtful breeding has left a meaningful impact on the future of the breed.

I am proud to have owned two PA horses whose athleticism, beauty, and wonderful personalities are shining examples of your successful breeding program.”

With gratitude, Jessica

“The Palmetto brand will always hold a special place in my heart. They have been some of the greatest horses I’ve had the privilege to own and work with. Now breeding 2nd and 3rd generation PA babies, I love them all even more, and have been so fortunate to know some of the greats.

Thank you, Frank and Sara.” ~ Maggie Barker

Frank & Sara,

“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.” ~

“The opportunities from Frank & Sara Chisholm are simply what dreams are made of. Undoubtedly, Palmetto has influenced the breed & inspired us to continue their legacy. Through Palmetto’s timeless seeds, we are creating the flowers for the future of the Arabian horse. Thank you Frank & Sara for making my dreams a reality.”

Thankful for the gifts they’ve blessed us with.

“Congratulations to one of the most passionate, dedicated and successful breeders of Arabian horses. Our journey with Arabian horses has always been hand in hand with you, and we thank you. Most of all, we cherish the great times we have had together and the great times still to come. You call us your ‘horse friends,’ and we are so blessed to be.”

“We’re glad we are friends for so many reasons. Friendship is a million little things, but thank you both for your guidance and support in the horse industry and for Deb’s dream horse, PA Cassanova Always. We thank you also for your kindness, humor, and fun times together visiting your homes, our travel adventures, and the fine food and wine. Life is definitely more fun with you around, cheers!”

~ Love George & Debbie

Frank & Sara,

“Who knew over two decades ago, when you set foot on Varian Arabians, our lives would be changed forever. Obviously, Sheila did, and we are all so thankful for it.

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

“From Poland to Paris, from Costa Rica to California ... the times we’ve shared are irreplaceable. Thanks to the Arabian horse! Love you guys!”

~ Jenn

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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
