Horse Pull by Lynn Sprowl.
This is an exciting event! This pic is when the horses are coming into the arena. They are so excited and are looking at other teams, as if comparing. They know that they are champions and grand. Theses horses can pull over 4000 pounds... This team is matching and absolutely beautiful.
Horse pulling is a draft horse competition where horses in harness, usually one or two animals, pull a stone-boat or weighted sled and the winner is the team or animal that can pull the most weight for a short distance.
There are different weight classes and strict rules to avoid animal cruelty.
The Belgian horse is the breed most frequently seen, but other draft breeds are also used.
The best horses in competition are worked every day to keep their muscles and tendons in great shape to pull heavy loads. They are no different than a weight lifter or football player getting ready for their given sport.
