Pulling Contests For Draft Horses Draw Big Fairs
Western fairs feature draft horse pulling contests that rival racing for crowds. A $1,000 purse in Canada sparked profit over $4,000 for the hosting association. Records fell at Regina, Wapello, and Des Moines with pulls of 3,300, 3,400, and 3,425 pounds respectively as teams dragged hydraulic wagons across distances. Wayne Dinsmore notes the power is astonishing as teams test ever heavier logs with stronger harnesses and more fairs join the events across Iowa, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
