This is a school competition showcasing horsemanship.
00:07
A lot of us, we don't do things like netball because we don't have it out where we are, it's camp drafting.
00:13
An Australian made sport where competitors try to beat the clock while racing cattle through a course.
00:20
It feels like you're flying. It absolutely feels so powerful and so good to be out there,
00:25
especially wandering with your horse and working towards a goal together.
00:29
Despite being popular with North Queensland teens, the closest school competition was more than 14 hours away.
00:36
That was until a group of high school students decided to create their own event in Charters Towers.
00:42
I really wanted to get a team for my school to go, but it was too far.
00:47
So, you know, if you can't go down there, then bring one up here.
00:51
It's been two years in the making. Backed by the Australian Camp Drafting Association and the Department of Education,
00:57
a student committee has handled everything from planning to sponsorship.
01:02
Most of them are in grade 12, so they're also still studying. So they find time to do this and that as well in their grades.
01:08
So, yeah, it's a big effort for them.
01:10
They're hoping more schools will get on board.
01:13
A lot of schools, they don't see it as a sport, so they don't really even try to help kids into it.
01:20
And give other students that feeling of flying.
01:24
I would love to have the chance to be able to show them what it is all about and, like, have them see exactly what we do.
01:31
Yeah.
01:32
I got them all in.
01:33
I really like them all because we need to know what we do.
01:34
I got some pixie with my wood, but reproduction in charge is why we need to find better and kind of help.
01:36
I really like it so much much and healthy.
01:38
So it depends on the other hand, and a little bit.
01:39
I love what they do, and I love what we do.
01:41
How do you agree what we do?
