KRAGRA CAMPDRAFT 2013

All gathered at the old school ground for the campdraft. The sportsground came alive with dads, mums, kids and grand kids and lots of horses – a real family affair. Kragra started off hot but the shower of rain after midday cooled things off. The beasts won the finals, with a majority of riders getting cracked. Things are looking good for next year with improvements to facilities in the wind. The committee greatly appreciated the support of their sponsors who themselves have suffered during the recent disasters. Wade Knudsen picked up the Maiden Draft while Michael Hayes won the novice.

Gayndah Silver Whip Campdraft 2012

The decision to run a 2.5 day campdraft was a partial success, with the encouragement and novice not being attempted because of safety concerns. The final of the open was re-evaluated.

The pearls were worn to match the dry as a bonez. No points were awarded for the wet shirt look. Cattle seemed to react to the incoming weather.

The bugger of it all was that all left for home Sunday morning and the sky was clear and the sun was out by 11am.The ground would’ve still been too wet. The ladies had to have run offs in the cutting out and the draft too.
