Together, they mark the start of an exciting new chapter—one where cutting grows stronger through connection, collaboration, and a vision that reaches far beyond borders.
Solo Select’s influence in the performance horse industry continues to expand across borders. This September, the brand will take center stage in Australia as major naming-rights sponsor of the NSW Aged Event, Solo Select Spring Spectacular, running September 8–13, 2025.
Solo Select on Australia’s Cutting Stage
For the first time, the Solo Select name will be displayed in an Australian cutting arena, an exciting milestone that highlights the company’s commitment to supporting the sport on a global scale. The sponsorship not only elevates the event but also reflects Solo Select’s dedication to contributing to the development of Australia’s breeding and cutting industries.
Stallions, Prize Money, and Opportunity
In partnership with several Solo stallion owners, services were donated to some of the most sought-after sires in Australia, including LBR Hangem, Meteles Cat, Woody Be Tuff, Metallics MVP, Metallic Cattack, The Animal, and others. These breedings, offered through a Stallion Service Auction, will generate over $30,000 in added money for the prize pool. Every dollar raised goes directly back to riders, owners, and breeders, further fueling growth within the Australian cutting scene.
A Premier Event on the Calendar
The NSW Aged Event is recognized as one of the most important fixtures on the Australian cutting calendar, drawing competitors nationwide. Backed by Solo Select, this year’s edition promises:
Expanded prize money through the stallion auction.
Elite aged-event competition across multiple classes.
A showcase of cutting excellence under the Solo Select banner.
Strengthening the Global Cutting Industry
Solo Select’s sponsorship underscores a larger mission: supporting the worldwide cutting and breeding community. By investing in programs abroad, the company helps ensure that opportunities for breeders, trainers, and competitors continue to expand.
"The presence of Solo Select in Australia demonstrates how the brand is becoming a driving force in the sport’s international future," Melanie Smith said.
Recognition for Partners
Special thanks go to the NSW Cutting Horse Club and the stallion owners who joined this initiative. Their combined efforts guarantee that the stallion auction proceeds flow directly back to the competitors who make the industry thrive.
Solo Select is proud to stand on the global stage, supporting the sport, the bloodlines, and the people who define cutting.
