Campdrafters were in action at Cooranga North and Nanango at the weekend, enjoying the perfect weather.

At Nanango on Sunday, riders were competing for a total of $3340 in prizemoney across Novice and Open drafts.

There’ll be more campdraft action happening locally over the Easter long weekend – at Kumbia and Kragra (west of Brigooda).

Also on April 4-5 is the Kragra Gold Watch Campdraft and Gymkhana which will include Maiden, Juvenile, Junior, Novice and Open rounds plus a Futurity (for horses four years old and under).  There’ll also be a Gymkhana (five age groups) and Mini Draft (for riders under 8 years).
