Conquerall Mills Horse/Ox Pull---Medium weight team class
June 21, 2008 Conquerall Mills, NS Horse teams are usually more exciting to watch than single horses and this day was no exception. The 'old fullers' in attendance liked what they saw:
It wasn't all work for the guys who stack the weights on the sled:
Finally the teams started pulling, action!:
And then, 'the kid' arrived. Pretty impressive and inspiring to see this young boy drive ~2,800 lbs of horse, pulling ~7,000 lbs. of weight.
To all the kids out there, put down your 360/PS3/Wii controllers, go join 4-H and drive a team of horses. Talk about a real thrill!:
Stay tuned for the review of the variety supper that followed the horse pull (hint, it involves LOTS of ground beef)

Horse/Ox pull & Variety Supper--single horse class
Horse/Ox pull--Single horse
Conquerall Mills, NS
June 21, 2008
I look forward to this event every year, and with good reason. An afternoon of free entertainment, followed by an elbow macaroni and ground beef comfort food extravaganza, what's not to love?!
We watched the single horse and medium team horse pulls for about an hour. The air was muggy and thick with the smell of horses, hay, manure and cigarette smoke. Lots of men sporting 'muffin top' bellies in attendance, thank god for belts!
It was interesting to watch the various styles of driving horses. Some guys like to shout, snap the reigns and push on the horses:
One senior teamster simply whistled and the horse did his bidding:
Hehe, that horse looks like it knows it did a good job, eh?
I've worked with both, young/fiery horses and older/calm horses and believe me, slow and steady gets way more accomplished in a day than a young 'hot' horse.
Tomorrow, pictures from the medium class teams. Keep your eyes peeled for 'the kid'.
