What an incredible weekend for the Cadogan Stock Horses team! 💙🐴
A massive congratulations to Jack and Cantali Stella on an outstanding performance in the iconic Tom Quilty Gold Cup 160km Endurance Ride.
Against an exceptional field of 225 riders, Jack and Stella achieved:
🏆 1st Non-Arabian Horse
🏅 7th Place – Heavyweight Division
To complete Australia’s toughest endurance ride is an achievement in itself, but to finish in the Top 10 in the heavyweight division and be the highest-placed non-Arabian is a true testament to Stella’s heart, toughness and the versatility of the Australian Stock Horse.
The celebrations didn’t stop there!
A huge congratulations also to Allix, whose dedication and consistency throughout the season have been recognised with some extraordinary achievements:
🏆 2025 AERA High Point Score – Endurance Australia
🏆 2025 AERA Distance Award – Greatest Distance Successfully Completed in Australia
🏅 30,000km Lifetime Distance Award
The 30,000km Award is one of the highest honours in Australian endurance riding. It has only ever been awarded to five riders in Australia, with Allix becoming the youngest recipient in history to reach this remarkable milestone.
We couldn’t be prouder of what Jack, Allix and their incredible horses continue to achieve. Their commitment, horsemanship and partnership with their horses are an inspiration, and we’re honoured to see Australian Stock Horses performing at the highest level of Australian endurance.
Congratulations to you both on an unforgettable weekend! Here’s to many more miles and milestones ahead. 💙🐎
