About Us

The Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series World Finals has become the most prestigious draft horse event on the Continent. Thousands of spectators have cheered on the tremendous Draft Horse hitches at venues such as the Calgary Stampede, Big Sky Draft Horse Expo, Ohio State Fair, Essa National Draft Horse Show in Thornton, Ontario plus many more.

 

Six gleaming one-ton horses create a spectacle as they stomp into the arena as one unit, outfitted in patent leather and chrome harness pulling the historically restored freight wagons. The top pointed stallion, gelding and two mares from each breed will be invited to participate. 

 

Excitement for draft horses starts with the breeding, so this series is a natural fit into the family of Classic Series offerings. The goal of this new offering is to promote and support breeding, exhibition, marketing and showmanship of the draft horse. Involving all four major breeds of draft horses in North America to promote public awareness and interest in a halter championship series that helps promote showing of draft horse halter.
