Get ready for a night of Pure Horsepower, at the Horse Pulling Contest at the McHenry County Fair, Woodstock, Illinois.
This event will have draft horses, as a team, pulling weighted loads in competition. Unlike a tractor pull, where the load gets heavier the further distance they pull, these teams will be pulling a Horse Pulling Dynamometer, owned and operated by Scott Skinkis, Brillion, WI. This dynamometer has preset weights that the teams will be pulling. Each team must pull the load 27 ½ feet for a qualified pull. The teams pulling the full distance will go on to a bigger load. This is a process of elimination – the team
that pulls the biggest load the furthest is declared the winner. The horse pulling competition will start at 6:30 pm in the grandstand on Wednesday, August 5th.
