What is Campdrafting ? PDF Print E-mail

campdraftingThe aim of the competition is to cut a beast from a small mob in the camp, moving their horse among the cattle quietly and bring the chosen beast to a gate at the other end (front) of the (camp) yard, for a short time blocking the beast two or three times preventing it from returning to the mob.
When the competitor feels that control of the beast has been demonstrated to the judge, they call for the gate to be opened.


Once on the arena, the competitor is working against the clock (forty seconds) to guide the beast around two pegs in a figure of eight pattern, and then drive the beast between a final two pegs known as the gate.
The best combination of control of the beast, riding skills, speed and completing the course scores the highest points. It is not unusual to see a beast gated in under twenty five seconds, demonstrating the speed and agility of the specially trained horses.


The ability of the horses, combined with breathtaking horsemanship, makes campdrafting a sport for both competitors and spectators.
