Draft Horse Pulls at the McHenry County Fair

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 .
