Challenge Association
established July 2013

Welcome

to ASCA

Formed in July 2013. ASCA holds the vision to grow and promote the Sport of Stockman’s Challenge's across Australia.

Our commitment is to assist existing Challenge committee’s; embrace new committee’s, encourage improved horsemanship, develop youth and provide a platform to showcase the elite talent training and showing our Classic – under 5 year old horses.

Our commitment and vision is to continue to grow the discipline of Stockman’s Challenges for the mutual benefit of all involved be they a breeder, owner, trainer, rider, professional or  non-professional.

Our discipline is currently experiencing exponential growth, we are this year expanding show in Qld and NSW, with recent enquiry from NT, WA and SA.  It is an exciting time to be involved in the Stockman’s Challenge discipline.

Over the course of more than 40 years, the Cloncurry Stockmans Challenge has journeyed towards becoming one of the most coveted trophies in Australian equine sport. Over this time, Australian Stockmans Challenges have become the benchmark to attest to a rider’s ability to train horses and testimony to a horses breeding. Challenges are multi-disciplinary; appealing to Reiners, Cutters, Campdrafters & Show riders. Those who have won a Stockman’s Challenge are celebrated within the performance horse industry as the very best Horsemen you will find.

Stockman’s Challenges are a unique Australian sport; designed to commemorate the Australian Stockman’s horsemanship skills. They are now a modern day tribute to the stockmen and women of years gone by; an acknowledgement of the skills required to work cattle in the bush.

A Stockman’s Challenge event consists of a Dry Work pattern and a Cattlework phase. Both of these phases are designed to test the ability of horse and rider. The Dry work pattern contains spins, sliding stops & roll-backs. The cattlework phase is similar to a campdraft and seeks to identify a horse that can easily control a beast and demonstrates his intended purpose of working cattle in the bush.
