Horse pulling is a competitive event where horses are harnessed to pull a heavy load, typically a weighted sled or a cart. The goal is to see which horse can pull the heaviest weight over a specific distance. This sport showcases the strength and endurance of the horses, as well as the skill of the handlers. In horse pulling competitions, teams of horses are often used, and the event is judged based on the amount of weight pulled and the distance covered. The sport is popular in various regions, particularly in rural areas, and is often featured at local fairs and agricultural shows.
