2025 Wrangler Women of Influence, Presented by The American Quarter Horse Journal, Announced

Positivity, perseverance and integrity are among the characteristics of the six members of this year’s Wrangler Women of Influence, presented by The American Quarter Horse Journal: Cynthia Cantleberry, Laurel Denton, Dr. Eleanor Green, Rebecca Halvorson, Holly Hover and Bobbie Walton. 

The Wrangler Women of Influence award recognizes influential women who work hard, have fun and are courageous; believe in solid commitments and perseverance in the face of obstacles and challenges; and respect themselves, their friends, our western heritage and the environment in which we live.  

“We are proud to have this distinguished group of women recognized as Wrangler Women of Influence,” said Karl Stressman, AQHA chief executive officer. “They each personify what our Association stands for in terms of character and strength. In conjunction with our partner Wrangler, we are excited to honor their impact.” 

Cantleberry, Denton, Dr. Green, Halvorson, Hover and Walton will each be featured in an issue of the Journal in 2026.
