G'day all

Several more images from the Queensland Oz, Camp Drafting weekend

As the two animals break out from the 'bunker', they are engaged in a very fast figure-8 dance, first left and around the marker then right across the arena to the second marker, before crossing the field and thru a pair of markers being 'the gates'. And all competitors were challenging the fastest times as well

These images are from the second marker to my right ...

G'day Adam

Events such as these are regulars thru the weather-shoulder seasons and held across most of outback Aussie. Starting on Friday arvo, goes till maybe 9pm, then Sat from 7am to 7pm before a large 'bush-dance' evening till midnight, then Sunday has the semis & finals going until maybe 2pm.

People + rigs + horses start arriving on Thurs arvo, and start departing anytime on Sunday, esp if they are not in the running for a semi or final

Entry fees vary depending on the age & experience categories with prize monies coming from those fees plus a few sponsors
