As the name implies Campdraft Training Online is a valuable resource for campdrafters to access training tips and competitions tricks whenever and wherever they are.

Ben Rossiter
Ben Rossiter

CTO founder Ben Rossiter wanted to improve his own campdrafting skills.  He was hungry for high quality, current content, but was unable to find what he was looking for online.  So he simply set out to build his own.

We learn best when we are inspired and at CTO you will learn from the very best in the performance horse industry. Inside our members’ area you will find a library of short training videos specific to the various training techniques and competition strategies from leading competitors across the country. A minimum of four videos are added to the library each month. Our comprehensive library is growing rapidly!

CTO offers training for all ages and all skill levels. Our educational videos are carefully constructed to be easily and quickly digested so you can immediately apply them in the real world. Our videos, available on demand, cover an extensive range of topics including: fundamentals; cattle picking; yard work; horse work; other training aids; problem horses; judging; and other specialty content.

Our videos are designed to complement face-to-face training. While nothing can replace the time you are willing to put into developing your skills (riding your horse or competing) our videos will arm you with the right techniques so you can ensure your time is well spent!

At CTO we like to think outside the square with new ideas such as Point of View Run Reviews. By providing a visual view of the rider in actual competition we can provide our members with unique insights into how competitors go about picking cattle, setting up their runs and how they would aim to attack a particular course.  These aspects will help you get a competitive advantage.

Team CTO.  Always learning, Always Improving.

Mark Buttsworth

Mark has proven that if you have the ambition, desire and tenacity that anything is possible.  He has continuously strived to develop his horsemanship and training skills which now culminates to be one of the most intense, correct and exciting campdraft displays on the circuit.

Like most who have dedicated a lifetime to their profession Mark has an innate understanding of everything related to performance horse training and an effective way of communicating his techniques. These videos are a must watch for those who want to understand more about his refined, yet relatively straight forward training methods.

Wyatt Young

Tamworth based trainer Wyatt Young has spent a lot of time gleaming a wealth of info from some of Australia’s best campdrafters and world renowne horsemen such as Al Dunning.  With a few ABCRA campdraft titles under his belt and a swag of broad ribbons from ASH classes, Wyatt’s horses are renowned for being correct and presented perfectly.

Wyatt is one of a new wave of trainers who is mixing the ‘old with the new’ which is creating exciting results.  He is building a formidable team of youngsters which we believe will feature well into the future.

Ben Tapp

Phil Dawson

Campdrafting is just a hobby for Phil, that he enjoys with his family, however most would have observed his professionalism and ability in the cutting pen.  Cutting has had an influence on campdrafting in recent years and we’re grateful for people like Phil who are willing to share the aspects of their knowledge which is relevant to campdrafters.

If you draft a horse that has a cutting foundation we believe you will benefit by improving your understanding of the training they were exposed to.  Phil is a great teacher and communicator who keeps his message simple yet effective which we’re sure you will enjoy!

[See example training videos on Phil’s page on CTO…]

Kimberley Sammon

Kimberley has been one of the leading campdraft competitors within the ACA for a decade.  How has she achieved this?  When you talk to Kimberley about drafting its clear that she has put a lot of thought into how she sets up her yards and rides a course.

Despite all her achievements she rates winning her first Juvenile title has her most memorable due to the commitment required from her family to come from behind and claim the title.  Some of Kimberley’s theories are unique and may help you to challenge your thinking about how you approach your runs.
