The Topar Campdraft Clinic in far-west New South Wales attracted riders eager to learn campdrafting, a challenging sport that combines horsemanship, speed, and skill to maneuver cattle through timed tasks. Led by horse trainer Jay Charnock, participants of all ages honed techniques essential for separating and guiding cattle while managing their natural instincts. The event, which has been running for 30 years with strong community support, offers a unique opportunity for local and visiting riders to engage in this traditional Australian sport.

Campdrafting, originating from livestock camps, demands high-level control of both horse and cattle under pressure. The clinic not only enhances riders’ skills but also fosters community spirit and celebrates a sport deeply embedded in Australian culture. With growing interest from younger generations, the future of campdrafting looks promising as new talent emerges and the sport continues to thrive.
