Tom Katzke Report post Posted July 18, 2006 We went to a draft horse show this weekend. It has only taken us 16 years to get to it. Do not know why as it was very interesting. Never knew there were so many different ways to put together harness. The best part of the show was the entertainment they had between classes so the competitors could set up there hitches for the next class. If you like to see 8 horse hitches in full action go to this web site. http://www.crazy8ponies.com/ It is for The Crazy Eights. They have five 8 horse teams running full tilt in the arena all going different directions. OK so they use ponies (how else are you going to get 5 teams to do this in an arena?) but the little buggers are running full out and can get the wagons in a 4 wheel slide. They have a video that shows it better then I could describe it. Tom Katzke Central Oregon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

$$hobby Report post Posted September 4, 2006 that must be a kick in the pants. the last time i was at the State Fair i was lurking behind the race track and stables where i found some people on some Belgins bareback walking/trotting around getting warmed up. They were getting ready for a draft horse race. unfortunately i didnt see it, but it looked like a hoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
