AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION
INDUCTS "SKIPPER W" INTO THE HALL OF FAME
Skipper
W
was foaled in 1945 and bred by American Quarter
Horse Hall of Famer Hank Wiescamp. Skipper W was
shown three times as a 4-year-old and, by many
reports, was named grand champion all three times.
He retired undefeated and returned to Wiescamp's
ranch, where he sired 132 foals that earned 1,392
halter points and 586.5 performance points; 13
became AQHA Champions. Skipper W never stood to
outside mares, but horses of his lineage are still
known as "Skipper W-bred." He died in
1963 at age 18.
Thanks to Tom Filbin for getting the ball rolling
on Skipper W’s nomination to the American
Quarter Horse Hall of Fame.Also thank you to everyone that wrote
recommendation letters or helped in any way.
