Watched some pony pulling at the Fair. Always a popular event.
I prefer it to the full size draft pulling experience.
One of the local fire departments had 3 teams in the event.
The teams pull their antique fire apparatus in parades. And they do logging in the winter.
They did very well here.
All the teams were well behaved, well groomed and calm.
Every year there are more and more teams as more folks get re-interested in farming with real horse power.
Have you been to any draft pulling this summer?

Decades ago we used to stay at night to watch the free for all at the fair in September. I think the last time we stayed was when my son was 6 months old.
ReplyDeleteI've seen bits and pieces of pulling in the 2 decades since then, but not really stayed to watch for a while.
With all the people becoming interested in horse power farming, it might be something to think about, trying to watch pulling events again.
