Experience four unforgettable days of world-class campdraft action at Australia’s richest campdraft event, where the nation’s best riders and horses come together to compete. Beyond the campdraft arena, you can enjoy a vibrant festival style atmosphere complete with live music, entertainment, shopping and hospitality experiences.

The program features the Junior and Juvenile Drafts, the thrilling Cut-Out Competition, the Ladies’ Dash for Cash, Maiden Horse and Novice Horse Shootout finals, the Restricted Open Jackpot Shootout and the Pryde’s Easi Feed National Champion Rider event.

With more than AUD450,000 in cash and prizes on offer including the remarkable AUD100,000 for the winner of the prestigious Gold Buckle Championship – this is an event not to be missed!

Campdrafting is a truly Australian sport, born over a century ago when drovers spent long, hot days in the saddle and naturally turned their skills into friendly but fierce competition. Today, it’s one of the country’s fastest-growing equine sports, with drafts held nearly every weekend across rural Australia.

Even if you’re not a campdraft enthusiast, there’s plenty to enjoy! Soak up the festive atmosphere, indulge in great food and drinks at the Stockman’s Kitchen and Bar, and enjoy live music on Friday and Saturday evenings and entertainment throughout the event.
