Because of ongoing dry conditions and the poor cattle, the popular sport has been in jeopardy, but it's making a comeback this month in Trangie's new state-of-the-art arena at the completely renovated local racecourse.

Trangie Campdraft Association president Simon McCutcheon is excited for the event.

"We had sand donated so now the arena is weatherproof," he said.

The rubber-clad railings are another exciting aspect.

"The rubber is for animal welfare," Mr McCutcheon said.

Campdrafting involves a lot of skill. 

Mr McCutcheon said the competitor had to cut one beast from a herd of seven to the outside course.

"We've been training," he said. "It's based on skill and time around the course."

Mr McCutcheon said campdrafting was open to new competitors and welcomed people who wanted to attend and learn more about the sport.

"The popularity has gone through the roof. Come and learn, you can talk to someone and they can teach you the ins and outs," he said.

Mr McCutcheon said the sport attracted all ages.

"It's the greatest family sport, you can be eight or 80," he said. "You just have to be interested in horse work."

This interest in horse work is expecting to draw a big crowd to the town.

"We have in excess of 300 competitors," the president said. "We use about 1300 head of cattle and it's over Friday, Saturday and Sunday."

There is something for everyone at the three-day event.

"There's live music on Saturday night, and there's a bar all weekend. It's an Aussie thing to do during ANZAC weekend," he said.

"It's a massive weekend."

The Trangie Campdraft is on April 25, 26 and 27 at the racecourse.
