Legend

A Life Member since 2011 and described as a ‘Champion cowboy, champion campdrafter and champion bloke’, is Mick Ward.

Having always had horses, Mick doesn’t know when he first sat in a saddle, only that he’s always ridden and hasn’t spent a lot of time out of one since! Initially Mick focused on rodeo with his first being at Manildra Show, competing in the bullock ride. It wasn’t until later that his interest in campdrafting arose, whilst at a centenary campdraft at Wellington.

Jack Johnston had a team of horses, some of which Stumpy Timmins rode. On this day Stumpy was held up and couldn’t make it, so Jack asked Mick if he’d be able to ride instead, where he ended up winning the Open campdraft on a horse called Silver! It was then agreed that if Stumpy couldn’t ride Mick would, on the condition that his steer wrestling horse would be carted too.

As well as his rodeo and campdraft activities, Mick has also been a cattle buyer. Starting in Dubbo, and gradually buying into Queensland and around the Longreach area.

His involvement with the ABCRA started when the Riders Registration was created – a paid membership for the riders, which covered insurance costs, where it was also voted that they could use their own saddles and rigging in the rodeo competition.

Mick has seen a lot of horse and rider combinations in his time, and has seen how campdrafting has progressed into the sport it is today, right from the early days! His interest is horses and breeding has been keen from day dot, and Mick says he hasn’t had one specific mentor, but many…

“Doesn’t matter who you talk to, you can always pick up something from somebody!”

RIP Joe. Sincere condolences to Jeanie & family. ❤️

We wish to advise of the passing of Joe Murrell.
Joe's journey has finally come to an end. He has unsaddled his horse and hung up his spurs at 3.50am this morning, surrounded by family members at his bedside .
The company is what it is today thanks to Joe's work ethic, integrity, words of wisdom and guidance. His motto was always work hard and play harder, both which he did exceptionally well.
His willingness to contribute to the community through his participation on numerous boards and committees, as well as the associations that he started, Joe was the consummate bush gentleman who showed integrity and respect to all, and provided leadership to those who needed it and to those that didn't want it. He came from an era where a handshake meant everything and you honoured your word. We are fortunate to have had Joe as our role model, he will be sorely missed by all.
Kind regards,
The Murrell Family
