💎 THE FINAL 20 ARE SET! 💎
What a way to finish the inaugural Gem of the West Central West ABCRA Novice Campdraft Series!
Coolah Campdraft proved to be an absolute game changer, with a nail-biting finish that saw the leaderboard shift right down to the final runs. After a season of travelling the Central West, chasing scores and putting together those all-important best three aggregates, our Final 20 horse and rider combinations have officially been decided.
These 20 combinations have earned their place in the Gem of the West Final at Orange Campdraft in November, where the slate is wiped clean and they’ll go head-to-head over two rounds for the inaugural Gem of the West title and that incredible prize pool. 💎
A massive congratulations to every competitor who nominated for the series this year. The depth of competition has been incredible, and seeing the leaderboard change from round to round has been exactly what this series was designed to create.
And while the Final 20 are now locked in, we’ve still got some pretty special season awards to celebrate…
🏆 Aggregate Winner – Glenn Peacock & Bacardi
🏆 Hot Shot Winner – Darcy Schliebs & Elect
🏆 Highest Placed Novice Rider – Kim Cameron & Play For Gold
We’ll be giving each of those achievements the spotlight they deserve in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to our FINAL 20.
Next stop… Orange.
The leaderboard got you there, now it’s a clean slate & game on!
💎 ROAD TO THE DIAMOND — THE FINAL AWAITS.
