Nebo Slouch Hat Campdraft
True Australian horsemanship, born in the Outback.
Campdrafting is the ultimate test of cattle craft, equine agility, and split-second precision. Deeply rooted in the late-19th-century stockman traditions of outback Queensland, it is a sport where horse and rider work in absolute synchronization to cut an single beast from the camp, drive it into the arena, and complete a high-speed obstacle course under intense time pressure.
The Nebo Slouch Hat Campdraft carries on this proud legacy, attracting Australia's absolute elite riders, trainers, and premier livestock to Central Queensland for four massive days of fierce, high-stakes competition.
