It’s a feeling of accomplishment … having completed a 160km horse ride in a day through the Australian bush.

However, the Tom Quilty Gold Cup is not just about the rider. It’s also knowing that your horse has been allowed to shine, to be the best it can on the day.

In recognition of the growing popularity of horses in the Gympie-Burnett regions, Australia’s premier endurance event returns to the Mary Valley in 2026.

It will be the third time in seven years that the Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club at Imbil is to have the honour of hosting the event.

As such, it highlights the respect that the governing body, the Australian Endurance Riders Association (AERA), holds for the region.

This is a particular honour as it will be the 60th anniversary of the Tom Quilty ride, with up to 300 riders from across Australia expected to participate...

A Golden Show of Unity in Romania

Romania was the proud host of the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors 2025...

A pivotal decision at the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors 2025 in Buftea (ROM) turned into a golden moment for France.

At the vet gate, the French Young Riders were ready to head out on the third loop. Their last teammate’s horse still had minutes left in its rest period. They could have gone ahead – perhaps gained precious ground – but instead they chose to wait. They would leave together, as a team.

It was a quiet act of unity in the moment, but by the end of the day it had become the defining story of the championship. That choice ultimately carried France all the way to Team gold. The joy and surprise on their faces when the result was announced showed just how much it meant.

“They were thinking they would get a medal, but not gold. It was a bit of a surprise, but we were so happy. Success is a team sport,” said Jean-Michel Grimal, Chef d’Equipe for France...

Al Mehairi makes UAE flag fly high at FEI Young Riders and Juniors World Championship

September 23 2025

Rashed Khamis Al Mehairi went one better when winning the UAE a fifth-straight title at the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors 2025 in Buftea, Romania, with a perfectly-calculated ride and a bit of good fortune aboard Shardell Jaeger. Al Mehiari had finished second behind compatriot Rashed Ahmad Al Ketbi in a UAE 1-2 at the previous event at Castelsagrat in France in 2023.

However, this was to be his year. And, he rose to the occasion to once again stamp UAE domination over the Young Rider and Junior division by staying close to the top of the leaderboard and making his bid for glory in the fifth and final loop of the 120 km ride in Buftea, a town located about 20 km northwest of Bucharest.

Keeping close to the top of the leaderboard meant hotly pursuing teammate Essa Abdulla, who seized the lead from Bahrain’s Sultan Al Romaihi during the course of the second loop. Al Mehairi was placed third at the end of the first loop and maintained his position at the end of the second before dropping one spot to fourth during the third loop. He picked up during the fourth loop to climb up to second going into the final loop.

On the other hand, Essa Abdulla remained rooted to the top, but his mount Geste La Majorie being adjudged to having returned with an irregular gait at the vet gates at the end of the race put paid to his hopes of winning. That ceded the advantage and title to Al Mehairi, who was thrilled to have won after his runners-up finish of two years ago. Al Mehairi completed the ride in five hours 33 minutes and 1 second (5:33:01) riding at a pace of 22.79 kph to win ahead of Bahraini pair of Saud Mubarak Salem and Isa Hameed Al Anezi, who finished second and third, respectively. The trio were part of a group of 45 finishers from a starting group of 84.

The event’s presentation ceremony was attended by Khalifa Thani bin Aboud Al Falasi, Board Member of Dubai Racing Club; Ahmed Rashid Al Kaabi, Acting General Manager of Dubai Equestrian Club and Chief d’Equipe of the UAE Team.

Five riders represented the UAE at the event, with the rest of the Emirates contingent comprising groups, trainers and administrative staff. Al Mehairi’s victory was a fifth consecutive title for the UAE and its eighth overall in the history of the championship.

Praising the efforts of the team, Sheikh Rashed Dalmook Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Equestrian Club, thanked the UAE leadership — His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, for their unwavering support that has propelled the nation to global prominence in the sport.

He emphasised that the UAE’s victory at the FEI Endurance Championship for Young Horses highlighted the team’s exceptional skill, determination, and horsemanship. He added that the achievement not only reinforced the UAE’s dominance but also set a new benchmark of excellence for the international endurance community.

Acting General Manager of Dubai Equestrian Club and Chief d’Equipe of the UAE Team, Al Kaabi added: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum for their unwavering support and inspiring leadership. Their vision has propelled the UAE to become a true powerhouse in endurance, inspiring generations to excel. The UAE Team showed remarkable courage, unity, and determination throughout the championship, and this victory is a testament to their hard work. I couldn’t be prouder.”

On the sidelines of the ceremony, Khalifa bin Abboud presented commemorative shields from the Dubai Equestrian Club to Hubert Stefan, President of Ilfov County Council in Romania, and Gheorghe Pistol, Mayor of Buftea, Romania, in the presence of Marilena Mladen, President of the Romanian Equestrian Federation.

The FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders and Juniors is an event established by the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI) to cultivate and recognise talent in the next generation.

Career-defining moments for young Endurance athletes in Buftea

Buftea, Romania witnessed history on 20 September 2025 as the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors reached its dramatic conclusion. Over 120km of testing terrain, 84 young athletes from 26 nations set out with one shared goal: to finish with their horses in good health. By the end of the day, medals were decided not only by time, but by resilience, judgement, and the crucial veterinary inspections that define the sport. For Romania, hosting its first equestrian world Championship was a milestone in itself, while for the athletes aged 14–21 it was the defining moment of their careers so far.

Individual Podium

Gold went to 20-year-old Rashed Mohamed Atiq Khamis AlMehairi (UAE) riding the 10-year-old stallion Shardell Jaeger. Already an individual silver medallist at the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors 2023 in Castelsagrat (FRA) with Castlebar Cadabra, AlMehairi this time went one better to secure the ultimate accolade.

After his win, Rashed said: “This is my last year as a Young Rider, and my advice to the younger athletes is that nothing is impossible – if you have a goal, focus on it, and take something new from every training session and every ride. In the end, I only ever compete against myself.”

UAE teammates — including reigning World Champion Rashed Ahmad Seghayer Alktebi, Essa Abdulla Essa Ali Abdulla, and Ali Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed AlFalasi — also crossed the line within minutes of each other but were eliminated at the final veterinary inspection, removing the UAE from team contention...

Australia's Poppy Kettlewell: From pony club loops to the world stage

Author: Bella Fricker

When 18-year-old Poppy Kettlewell canters out of the start line at the FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Riders & Juniors in Buftea (ROM), on 20 September 2025, it will mark the realisation of a dream she has carried since she was a little girl. Riding the 15-year-old homebred gelding OSO Irazu, Poppy will represent Australia at her first ever Championship - a remarkable milestone in a journey that has already spanned thousands of kilometres, countless hours in the saddle, and an unwavering passion for Endurance.

Early beginnings on a white pony

Endurance has been woven into Poppy’s life from the start. Her very first taste of the sport came in 2015, at just eight years old, when she rode a 5km on her little white pony, Cherry, who, remarkably, is still happy on a farm at the age of 35. Two years later, she tackled her first qualifier, an 80km on her paint pony Jess. That ride, Poppy recalls, “really sparked my love for the sport.”

The trajectory was steep. At only 10 years old, she completed her first 160km on the horse of every child’s dreams, OSO Nicholas. “He taught me so much and naturally led us to take on the 160km challenge together,” Poppy says. “I had a real passion for Endurance riding and had watched many other team members complete these rides. Both my mum and the team knew it was my turn, and I was motivated by the excitement of the challenge and the opportunity to learn and grow alongside Nicholas...”
