Sincerest Condolences Following Passing of Cecilia Hylton

We would like to extend our sincerest condolences following the recent passing of Cecilia Hylton. The matriarch of Hylton Quarter Horses, Cecilia will be missed for her ever-present smile and determined passion for preserving the future of the American Quarter Horse.

Cecilia not only helped grow the industry by contributing to reproductive research, granting funds to the American Quarter Horse Foundation, and spearheading the Hylton Maiden Western Pleasure Futurity that began back in 2004, she was a beloved mother and fellow exhibitor.
