Rules and Regulations

  1. Once the measuring stick is laid on the horse’s back, they have 40 seconds to record measurement, with three attempts.  The maximum time for three attempts will be 2 minutes.
  2. The official distance of the pull will be 10 feet.  You will have three attempts.  You may take a second pull hooked or unhooked, driver’s choice.  If a horse steps over the tug or to prevent a tangle up while you are hooked to the sled and you can’t get the horse back in the tug without touching your horse, you must unhook.
  3. The Track will be single lined.  If a team steps on or across the line, either pony on either side, that pull shall be disqualified and will have to pull again.
  4. The team or driver shall not be changed or replaced during a pull.
  5. There will be NO changing of bridles during the contest. The bridle you start with is what you finish with.
  6. Any slapping of horses by any means will disqualify the pull.
  7. The driver should not use any abusive actions or language against his or any other team during pull.
  8. Harness must be furnished by the contestants.  Weighted collars, special weights, bandages, boots or artificial aids of any kind are forbidden.
  9. A driver and two helpers will be allowed to any one team.
  10. No side line driving.  Driver and helpers must stay behind the evener’s.
  11. There is a three minute time limit for hitching up. (Only 3 tries)
  12. Run away or driver loses lines, you are disqualified.
  13. The fair management reserves the right to blood test any one or all horses to check for evidence of use of illegal drugs and/or stimulates.  Use of these substances will be grounds for disqualification.
