Spotted at Berry Show – Art Cadeau

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 5

While off chasing my showjumping dream at Berry Show last weekend, I was a little sidetracked when someone said to me ‘that’s Art Cadeau!’

A superstar for Terry Robinson and his family during a 30 start career that yielded seven wins and nine placings plus $1.5million, Art Cadeau was officially retired after finishing seventh at Randwick on January 6.

He shot to fame in 2021 winning the $500,000 Newhaven Park Country Championships Final and then the $1.3million Kosciuszko to the great delight of all his South Coast fans.
