WALTER QUARTER HORSES

Congratulations goes out to Cotton and Tara Wilkinson.  They placed high in the first round of the pole bending at the National High School Finals Rodeo.  Good luck in round 2.  Cotton is a daughter of the late Kiddin N Streakin.  She was trained by Canadian barrel racing Icon Isabella Miller Haraga and later campaigned by granddaghter Skyler.
