• The RTWH Committee after a great deal of consideration has decided to cut the Reining Pattern from the Club program. Members will be able to warm their horses up in the arena (time not exceeding 1 minute) prior to their Working Cow Horse pattern. As a result of this event being cut, members will have the opportunity to have two Barrel Race runs and several Team Penning runs. We are exploring a new event in place of the Reining Pattern – so watch this space.

CAMPDRAFTING: IN THE CAMP

 The Club

The Rosewood Trail & Working Horse Club is based at the Roly Gardner Arena which is situated in the Rosewood Showgrounds 20 minutes west of Ipswich in Queensland.

The club focus is on developing the horse and rider skills for cutting, team penning, camp drafting and working horse.

The club has a family focus with youngsters right through to their grandparents getting involved in the fun.

Many of the club members use the club days to hone their horse and rider skills for local and regional competitions, introduce and train up their horses or just for a bit of fun.

The points days which are held twice a year give all the members a chance to dress up both themselves and their horses and compete against their fellow club members with a presentation class and judging for the events that are conducted on the club days.

There are regular team penning competitions attracting riders from all across S.E. Qld who come to compete for the fastest time and the 1st prize. Team Penning is becoming a very popular activity for both riders and spectators.

Barrel Racing is now on the calendar which is very popular amongst the girls and since running their first event in February this year it will develop into a popular event and with a bit of help from sponsors the prize money should improve to make the event a regular on the barrel circuit.

Cutting is becoming a sort after activity as well, not only to develop your skills for team penning and campdrafting but as a stand alone sport with cutting groups popping up all over the country.

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on your horse and have a fun day out come along, take a day membership and see if our club is your cup of tea. You never know, you just might end up starting a long term affair with these horse and cow events.
