THE National Campdraft Council of Australia recently announced that a revised Championship will be held in conjunction with the 2014 Warwick Gold Cup.
This revised event also will see the forging of a new partnership for the NCCA with Pryde’s EasiFeed coming on board as the event’s Major Sponsor.
The new concept will see the top five ranked open riders from the ACA, SCA, ABCRA and GCA compete over three full rounds of competition for a large purse and the title of National Campdraft Champion.
The riders will be from the most recently completed year of the respective organisations.
All in all $19, 000 in prize money, $4,000 worth of Pryde’s EasiFeed, a $3,000 bronze trophy, two service fees to One Moore Playboy and a custom made bit will all be on the line as riders compete for the title.
Sponsors for the event include Pryde’s EasiFeed as the major sponsor, the One Moore Playboy Syndicate, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Rod Kaye.
NCCA President Evan Acton said It was wonderful to see the revised event be embraced by the Warwick Committee and backed by a company with Pryde’s standing in the industry.
“To be able to crown a National Champion after a three round final with all organisation’s leading riders in attendance will provide for a spectacle the likes of which campdrafting has probably never seen,” Mr Acton said.
Managing Director of Pryde’s EasiFeed Peter Pryde said the company was very proud and excited to be involved in the National Championship concept and to be able to provide support in the manner of high quality horse feed and prizemoney.
“As strong supporters of campdrafting, to be involved with this showcase event further allows us to contribute to a section of the horse industry that is an important and valued component of our core business,” Mr Pryde said.
