May The Best Team Win...2010 |
Welcome...The Prince Edward Island Horsepullers would like to thank you for taking the time to look us up! It is our hope that through this website, we keep you well informed of pulling events both on and off our Island. It is with great pride that we provide this information to you.
Please feel free to contact us with any Questions, Scheduling Information etc... and we will be happy to get back to you. Happy Horse Pulling!
A Brief History....Horse Pulling was originally a competition for farmers to determine who had the strongest team. Now it is more of a hobby for a lot of competitors, although you will still find a few farm and logging teams who take part. It takes many hours of hard work to condition these teams to be fit enough to compete. This sport is a huge team effort between a man and a horse. It takes a well conditioned pair of horses, a skilled teamster and a precise hooker ( the person who hooks the team swings to the drag ) to make this look as easy as some of these guys do. These Horses are athletes in every sence of the word. So come out and enjoy an afternoon of some "True Horse Power".
