We’re thrilled to officially launch the 2025 TSPH Clinic Participants Campdraft, set to run from 21–23 November 2025 at Koobah Performance Horses.
This year’s event holds special significance as it marks five years since our very first campdraft, also proudly hosted at Koobah. It’s only fitting that we return to the place where it all began to celebrate how far we’ve come — not just as a team, but as a passionate community of riders and horse enthusiasts.
This exclusive event is open only to those who qualify by attending:
Two Small Group Clinics, or
One 2-Day Clinic in 2025
More than just a competition, the Clinic Participants Campdraft is a celebration of progress, partnership, and persistence. It’s a chance to put your hard work into action, ride alongside like-minded horsemen and women, and enjoy a weekend full of camaraderie, growth, and performance.
There’ll be exciting prizes, a welcoming atmosphere, and the chance to showcase your journey throughout the year. Whether it’s your first time qualifying or you’ve been with us from the start — this is your moment.
Make sure you’ve booked your 2025 clinics and secured your eligibility — spots are limited!
We can’t wait to welcome you back to Koobah and celebrate five years of building better riders, better horses, and an unforgettable community.
What’s Been Happening at TSPH?
Texas Star Performance Horses Southern Run Wrap-Up
From 5th–15th September, we hit the road for 10 days – 6 days of clinics, 2 travel days, and 2 planning days – and what a run it was!
From our Gunning Weekend Clinic, to the Gunning Mid-Week Clinic, and onto Bungendore, we had a massive turn-out with all three clinics completely full of both new and returning riders. A huge thank you to our extremely generous cattle donors who made it possible – we couldn’t do it without you.
We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of Karen Pirotta, Belinda Cosgrove, Tyla Harris, Cindy Barnes and Garry Rapley, whose help across the clinics made such a difference – thank you all.
Across the clinics we saw a wide range of skills, from riders just starting out to competitive and experienced horses and riders. The group vibe was incredibly supportive and encouraging – truly an embodiment of the TSPH spirit.
Here’s what some of our riders had to say:
“I’ve done many clinics, but I have never been to one like this where everyone is so welcoming and supportive. Not only is it extremely well organised, but it’s evident that Neil and Amanda take pride and passion in the service they provide. I will definitely be back!”
“I have been to a lot of other clinics and I will never go to a clinic that is not a Neil Faint Clinic.”
“I just want to thank you both for a bloody ripper of a weekend. I have never done a clinic before and between me and Anton we’ve been to maybe 7 drafts – and the amount we both learnt was phenomenal. The confidence boost, the skills we learnt, and knowing we are both on the right track is amazing. We came into this weekend not knowing what to expect and we left on a high. Cannot wait for the next event!”
We look forward to heading your way again soon – but for now, no time to rest as we roll straight into back-to-back clinics leading into the 2025 TSPH Clinic Participants Campdraft, happening 21–23 November at Koobah Performance Horses, Tamworth.
Meanwhile, while Neil and Amanda were on the Southern Run, Ash held down the fort at the Tamworth Quality Business Awards – with Texas Star Performance Horses proudly taking home Excellence in Customer Service – Animal Services.
We are incredibly humbled and grateful for this recognition and thank everyone for their support and congratulations. We are so proud of our whole team – including our amazing volunteers, who are the backbone of our program.
We look forward to seeing the Southern Gang in November – it’s going to be a big one!
What a fortnight for our team!
A big thank you to our Clinic Partners for their continued support:
Northwest Haulage and Livestock
