During the pull, teams of draft horses compete against a progressively weighted sled. Drivers guide the animals using vocal commands and precise rein handling, showcasing teamwork built on a historic human-animal bond.
The contest is scheduled for Friday, July 31 at 6:30 p.m. in Ag Hall at the Saline County Expo Center. Tickets are available at the door for $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for children ages 6–12. After the competition, a free community concert featuring rising country artist Jaron Bell is planned.
