“From the minute I stepped into the cowboy side of life, I was smitten with V6”
“Each visit, each year I have been welcomed in, as if I was family. I have made lifelong friends and cherished memories, with my sister V7 as my co pilot. It has been my honor and privilege to come to know the 3 generations of the Varian family and those that help them make magic happen.”
~ Vainca L.

“The best place to be to leave your busy world behind. You will not find nicer folks, better food, sweeter horses, or a more beautiful place to renew your soul! Been coming for 10 years now & look forward to it every time!!!”
~ Leslie M.
