Jade Corkill won a yearling colt at the 2011 San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
When Jade Corkill won the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in 2011 with Chad Masters, the pair added $15,038 to their PRCA world standings totals. But that’s not all—the Cuatro Light Ranch in Uvalde, Texas, awards each San Antone event winner a yearling out of the ranch’s Driftwood-bred herd. Today, “Rosie,” the 2010 bay filly Corkill picked out of George and Delia Light’s remuda, is ready to be the three-time world champ’s next big thing.
“I wanted a yearling because I’d never done one start to finish,” Corkill said. “Chad Masters went down there and they gate cut them, and he picked out the two prettiest ones.”
Masters eventually sold his colt, but Corkill kept the mare, registered as Mes quitewood 80510, at first for sentimental reasons.
