From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skipper W was an American Quarter Horse and a famous breeding stallion. He was a 1945 sorrel stallion bred by H. J. Wiescamp of Alamosa, Colorado. Despite not being shown in many horse shows, he went on to become the senior stallion of his breeder's reproductive program. Although he sired only 132 offspring, the products of his breeder's program are still often known as "Skipper W" horses. He will be inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2011.
