Michigan Hitches Headline Winners of Draft Horse Hitch Show
Michigan Ag Connection - 10/16/2018

The sound of thundering hooves and jingling harnesses rattled the Equine Arena during the Draft Horse Hitch Show at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition (KILE) at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center.

Adult and youth exhibitors showed single, team, four-horse and six-horse hitches throughout the weekend. Hitches were judged on the attractiveness and cooperation of the horses with the driver, as well as the presentation of the hitch as a whole. In hitches with multiple horses, judges are looking for teams whose horses work well together and are uniform in appearance.
