More than 30 teams of brown Belgians and mostly gray Percherons were put to the test, dragging tons of weight through the dusty track in the equine arena at the 2010 Pennsylvania Farm Show. View article at http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/247413

  • Gosh, i remember being there to see the 2011 show. Those horses walked past and shook the ground.

  • These horses are in very good condition and are more than likely treated very well by their owners. I don't see anything wrong with this at all.

  • I not agree with that... I say is abuse to the noble horse...

  • @arbeitspferde part 2: . And ok, so like 3 people were slapping their reins on the horse's rump in the one video you mentioned. Show me another horse discipline where every handler is always calm and every rider never hits their horse. I'd like to see you try because I know I would not be able to. So instead of just focusing on horse pulling, which shows horses true talent and strength why not you go complain to the people that are starving and neglecting and beating their horses??

  • @arbeitspferde

    Horse pulling is not criminal. You say the horses don't love doing what they do? Then why do you see them walking up to the sled willingly?? And why do the handlers not have to pull them and become aggressive with the horses to get them over to the sled?? Horses know what is going on, they know if they are about to pull the sled. If they didnt want to, you can bet 2 huge draft horses put together would not be going over to the sled.

  • "These animals LOVE their job. If they didn't want to pull, they wouldn't." (kaylyn32389)

    waterloo: 20'000 horses died, in war. They would ? horses make NOT war.

    horsepulling: They would ? horses DON'T love it.

    horspulling IS cruel and abuse. more or less. in other videos, you can see horsepulling, that is criminal.
