PAST EVENT
Sunday 4th of March 2012 - Monthly Cruise Williams Campdraft
The MX-5 Club cruise on the 1st Sunday of each month.
We meet at Burswood (click here to view a map) at 9AM for a 9:30 AM start.
Simon Corston is taking us on a longish cruise to the Williams Campdraft via some nice roads including Del Park Road. The run from Dwellingup to Williams takes in some interesting back roads that most will never have traversed.
This is the biggest Campdraft in WA with great displays of horsemanship and great opportunities to take some action shots. There will be the usual food and drinks stalls to grab a bite or you can bring a picnic.
Campdrafting is a unique and very popular Australian sport involving a horse and rider working cattle. It involves a mounted rider riding into a "camp" (corral or yard) which has six to eight head of cattle in it. The rider (cuts out) one steer or heifer from the cattle in the camp and brings that beast to the front of the camp and blocks and turns that beast at least two or three times to prove to the judge that they have the beast under control. The rider then calls for the gates to be opened and proceeds to draft (work) the beast around a figure of eight course in a larger arena. Generally the course is set to the left and once the beast has gone around the left peg, it must then be drafted around a peg on the right. Once that is completed, the rider then guides the steer through the "gate" and the campdraft is complete.
