North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series Details
The North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series has become the most prestigious draft horse event on the Continent. Thousands of spectators have cheered on the tremendous Draft Horse Hitches at venues such as Toronto's Royal Winter Fair, the Washington International Horse Show, Kansas City's American Royal, and the Eastern States Exposition in Massachusetts. Six gleaming one-ton horses create a spectacle as they stomp into the arena as one, outfitted in patent leather and chrome harness pulling the historically restored freight wagons. Crowds can literally feel the earth tremble as the massive hitches pass by! Each year, Six Horse hitches across the United States and Canada compete at state and county fairs and agricultural exhibitions to accumulate points for the Classic Series. More than one hundred seventy-five hitches travel within their region and beyond, competing at fifty qualifying shows throughout North America. The competition builds to a climax at the end of the series, when the four highest point hitches in each of three breed classifications are invited to compete for $30,000.00 in premiums the North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series Final Championship. The goal of the North American Classic Series to promote the draft horse breeds is being realized within all levels of competition.
