Pryde’s EasiFeed NCCA National Champion Rider at Willinga Park
In a milestone first for the Gold Buckle, Willinga Park will host the Pryde’s EasiFeed NCCA National Champion Rider title in 2026.
This prestigious championship brings together top riders from Australia’s four Campdrafting Associations: the Australian Campdrafting Association (ACA), the Australian Bushmen’s Campdraft and Rodeo Association (ABCRA), the Southern Campdrafting Association (SCA), and the Gippsland Campdrafting Association (GCA).
The title is contested across three rounds, with the rider achieving the highest aggregate score crowned the 2026 Pryde’s EasiFeed NCCA National Champion Rider. Each association will be represented by its top five riders, plus its Champion Lady Rider, setting the stage for a genuinely elite national showdown and a major highlight of the Championship week.
