Videos:
On October 14, 2023 Nan and Dick Walden were proud to accept an invitation for a Tribute to Sheila Varian at the 75th anniversary of the Cow Palace in San Francisco during the Grand National Rodeo. Rancho Sonado sent 5 of its National/Scottsdale Champions to honor Sheila’s historic 1961 win as the first woman at age 22 to win the reined stock horse competition on her own Polish Arabian mare Ronteza against the best cowboys of the day.
