Hard pulling pony leads off the saddle horse pulling contest
The horses took turns in order of their size. The first weight was 20% of the horse's weight.
Then the next weight was 50%. Each round added another five percent.
This little black horse was impressive.
Even the announcer took his turn.
It was an interesting event.
Heave ho
The load keeps getting bigger.
A friend from Martin is doing well. He started my Yellowstone horse for me quite a few years ago.
The load is getting tough.
The little black is pulling hard.
The announcer taking his turn at pulling
A long-time friend who we had the pleasure to sit by and visit with
The little black making it look easy.
The horse and rider from Martin are still very much in the game.
The little black takes it again.
Getting down to the nitty gritty
The little black is pulling 95% of his weight.
Things about to go to heck in a handbasket. A split second after this photo was taken, the cinch broke, and my friend from Martin hit the ground.
Picking up the pieces. The little black horse won the competiton.
