Wimpy P-1 was the first registered Quarter Horse for the American Quarter Horse Association, or AQHA.

Life

He was foaled on the King Ranch in Kingsville, Texas on March 3 1937.Beckman "Number One" "Quarter Horse Journal" March 1990 p. 36, 147.] However, the original application listed his foaling date as April 3 1937, and the original stud books gave his foaling year as 1935.Wohlfarth "The Wimpy Files" "Quarter Horse Journal" May 1996 p. 14] He was a son of Solis, himself a son of Old Sorrel, the King Ranch foundation stallion. Solis' dam was an unregistered and unnamed mare of Thoroughbred breeding who was by Right Royal and out of a mare by Martin's Best. Wimpy's dam was a mare named Panda, also sired by Old Sorrel. Panda's dam was a roan mare by Hickory Bill. Wimpy traced three times to Hickory Bill, making him quite inbred to Hickory Bill.

He was a chestnut colored stallion, with a star and a sock on his left hind leg. When fully grown, he was 15 hands high and weighed about 1200 pounds.

He was a grand Champion Stallion in March 1941 at the Southwestern Exposition Quarter Horse show in Fort Worth, Texas, which honor earned him the first number in the newly organized American Quarter Horse Association.

He sired over a hundred and fifty foals for the King Ranch, before he was given in 1958 to George Clegg, who had bred Old Sorrel. However, Clegg was forced to sell Wimpy to Rex Cauble, who owned the stallion until Wimpy died on August 13 1959, when Wimpy was twenty-two years old.

Among his sons and daughters were Bill Cody, Kip Mac, Caballero, Wimpy's Image, Silver Wimpy, Wimpy II, Lauro and Showdown.Pitzer "The Most Influential Quarter Horse Sires" p. 155] His grandget included Joe Cody, Marion's Girl, Codalena, Pandarita Hill and Show Maid.Simmons "Legends" p. 12-17]

He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 1989. [ [http://www.aqha.com/foundation/halloffame/halloffamebios.html AQHA Hall of Fame] accessed on February 3, 2008] In September 1961 a bronze statue of Wimpy was erected outside the AQHA Headquarters in Amarillo, Texas.
