Coonamble Campdraft Kicks Off on Saturday 8 June!

The 58th Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft is being held on 8-10 June and you're invited to come along and join in the fun!

This event is renowned as the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and is held in Coonamble, six hours North West of Sydney. 

Horsezone is once again proud to be a supporter of this event and we will be sponsoring the jackpot steers, which are marked and as they come through the campdraft (2 per event) the jackpot starts at $25. If the steer completes the course the rider receives $25 cash. If unsuccessful the jackpot goes up to $50 for the next steer and so on throughout the weekend. Potentially a steer can be worth up to $250 by Monday afternoon if nobody has completed a full course prior.

About the Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft

Running for over 56 years now, the Coonamble Rodeo & Campdraft is the largest event held each year in the town and is the largest combined Rodeo/Campdraft in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2009 the event was recognised as a Regional Flagship event by Tourism NSW and was promoted heavily both interstate and overseas.

Around 1000 cowboys and cowgirls, along with approximately 4000 spectators, head across the central western plains of NSW to the edge of the Outback, transforming the Coonamble Showground into a full-on explosion of wild riding action. 

On Saturday & Sunday, the  cowboys launch from the chutes competing for over $30,000 worth of prize money in steer wrestling, calf roping, barrel racing and, of course, the glamour events of the Saddle Bronc,  Bareback and Bull rides.  On Monday the Junior Rodeo sees the up and coming stars of the Rodeo circuit compete.

The Rodeo is run by the Coonamble Rodeo Association and an unpaid volunteer committee.  The President of the Coonamble Rodeo Association is Mr. David Burtenshaw.
