Campdrafting Origins

Campdrafting is one of Australia’s fastest growing horse sports and sports in general.

It takes years of training, dedication, skill – and a bit of luck.

And it’s all over in around one minute!

Campdrafting is synonymous with outback Australia and its cattlemen and women and their families, as is Wellard Rural Exports, and it is here the two meet.

Wellard Rural Exports, a family owned company, is Australia’s largest livestock exporter, and a history of strong involvement with the local community. Whether it is supporting the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation or the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Wellard Rural Exports has always been community minded and it is this mindset that has prompted Wellard, along with a group of local Campdraft enthusiasts, to stage one of WA’s biggest campdrafts.

The “Wellard Star of the West” has become one of WA and Australia’s most prestigious campdrafts and community events. So whether you are an avid “drafter” or simply someone who is keen for a look, get out to Pinjarra from November 12th-14th and become part of a great Australian home grown sport.
