Campdrafting exemplifies the basic work which was carried out by stockmen on cattle properties in the bush and to some extent is still carried out to this day. Friendly rivalry between stockmen, betting as to whose horse was the best, saw the conception of Campdrafting, which has grown to be a recognized sport with its own set of rules.
With its versatility, the Australian Stock Horse has achieved outstanding success in a wide variety of sports including campdrafting, show jumping, dressage, eventing, pony club events, polo and polocrosse.
