To think this time last year we were waiting for this pocket rocket to foal and now’s she cracked her maiden status 4 months after foal was weaned 💕💕.

And she had to do it the hard way as well - not one but 2 run offs!!!

What a weekend for the team at 2026 Coolah Valley Campdraft 🏆🏆🥇🥈

Safe to say I loved the new arena lights 🔥

🥇Destinys Playgirl took out the Open 4 Open after laying down a smashing 91-point run! After a nerve-wracking run-off, Playgirl came away with the win. Such an exciting result for the team — made even more special knowing she has an Al Capone foal due in just a few weeks. We can’t wait to see what she produces! 🤍

But perhaps the most special moment of the weekend came from our 3-year-old Tassas Redemption.

🥈 This exciting young gelding ran a huge 88 in the Futurity Draft, securing 2nd place! 🌟

We couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds for this young horse. He continues to show us just how much potential he has, and we’re looking forward to seeing what’s ahead.

A very exciting weekend and plenty to look forward to for the team!

✨ BREEDING SEASON IS HERE ✨

The books are officially open for Al Capone and Benalla Sweet Talker at Benalla Stud.

AL CAPONE
Al Capone already has progeny out there performing across the cutting, challenge and campdraft arenas, and we’re very excited about the next generation we currently have coming through under saddle.

His progeny continue to show the ability, trainability and performance qualities we love to see.

BENALLA SWEET TALKER
This season marks the first year Benalla Sweet Talker will be available to outside mares.

Talker has already enjoyed success in his short campdraft and challenge career, and his first crop of foals for us hit the ground last year. To say we’re excited about them is an understatement — we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.

Both stallions are available via live cover and chilled semen.

For all breeding contracts, service fees and further information, please contact Benalla Stud.

We’re looking forward to another exciting breeding season and seeing the next generation of Al Capone and Benalla Sweet Talker progeny hit the ground. 🐴
