It's one of the most sought after junior rodeo competitions in the country and it happens right here; taking place on the last week of the July school holidays across three venues in the MidCoast region.

Nabiac Junior Rodeo hosted the first round of the competition at the Nabiac Showground on Tuesday, July 16. Next it was Wingham Junior Rodeo's turn as the competition continued in the afternoon of Wednesday, July 17 and across Thursday, July 18 at the Wingham Showground. Gloucester Junior Rodeo hosted the final round at the Gloucester Showground starting on the afternoon of Friday, July 19 and continuing across Saturday, July 20.

The Bucketts Way was turned into a major thoroughfare for the dozens of horse trucks and four-wheel drives towing horse floats as competitors moved between the three locations venues.

Event organiser, Kelvin Gregory, said the event is showing no sign of slowing down with entry numbers up from last year. Despite the crippling drought conditions across most of NSW many travelled in for the competition.

"Tough times have not been a deterrent," Kelvin said. "Our entries numbers keep rising and we've had the highest number ever of local cattle donated for campdraft entries."

"The local business houses have also been wonderful in their support."

Gloucester riders had some exceptional results across the competition.

"We have some really good riders at the moment," Kelvin said.

Although there weren't a lot of interstate competitors this year, Kelvin said there plenty of new faces.
