Marnies Destiny is one of the most awarded stallions in the Australian sport of campdraftng. His results have re-written the record books and we are very honoured that Marnies Destiny has now been inducted into the  AQHA HALL OF FAME. Upon receiving the letter in the mail, I took it straight home and asked my three boys to open it. It was a very proud and exciting moment. The look on their faces was priceless. We will never forget that moment.

There has been thousands and thousands of registered quarter horses since the AQHA began in 1964. On only a few occasions is there a horse that stands above all others and is honoured with the most prestigious award in the Australian Quarter Horse Industry – AQHA Hall of Fame. There has never been a campdraft horse to receive this award – this will now cement his name in history. Marnies Destiny’s name is now set in stone along side Vaquero, Docs Spinifex, Play boy Roy and Docs Freckles Oak.

Marnies Destiny is one of the greatest horses in campdrafting history and he is so special to our family and anyone that has been involved with him. He has won so many awards, but this achievement is one of the most special moments for Marnie, our family and myself. To see his name set along side the best horses to ever walk in Australia is one of the greatest memories in our lives.  We have put so much of our lives into Marnie and he has returned that with all his heart. We are so very proud and honoured with this award. Thanks to everyone that has been involved in this, especially – Tony & Katherine Mortimer, Terry and Christine Hall and a big thanks to Pete Comiskey and Bryony Puddicombe. But most of all, A BIG THANKS TO MY MATE  – MARNIES DESTINY for all the joy you bring to my family and the campdrafting world. We will give him some extra feed tonight.

Thank you from the Young family and MARNIES DESTINY

The official presentation will be held on the 7th of October in Sydney
