Top campdrafters heading to Warwick

No less than 1850 nominations have been received for campdrafting events at the 2019 Warwick Rodeo and Campdraft which gets under way bright and early this coming Monday 21 October.

The traditional Australian event of campdrafting kicks off the program, with the first round of the Canning Downs Ascot & Charolais Stud Canning Downs Campdraft, followed by the first rounds of the Pryde’s Easifeed Warwick Gold Cup and the Vanderfield Hino Ladies Silver Cup.

Known by many as the ‘Melbourne Cup’ of campdrafting, the Warwick Gold Cup attracts more riders and offers more prize- money than any other campdraft in Australia.

Worth more than $55,000 plus the Gold Cup itself and a trophy saddle, it is, and has been for many years, regarded as the Australian Championship Campdraft.

A new Warwick Gold Cup has been hand-made and hand-engraved every year since 1992 by Warwick craftsman Trevor Young, with this year’s cup set atop a base of local rosewood.

The Canning Downs Campdraft also offers a significant prize worth $25,000 and its own trophy saddle, as does the $5000 Stallion Campdraft next Saturday 26 October.
