About Us:

The Eastern Draft Horse Association is the largest horse pulling organization in  the country, boasting over 1,100 members from all over the United States  and Canada . We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of New England  horse pulling. All the officers and directors put in many hours of work , all on a volunteer basis.

 The Eastern Draft Horse Association holds its annual pull at the end of the season in October.  The "Round-up"  is regarded as the largest and most prestigious pull in the country with three days of horse pulling excitement,  an auction, and other interesting features.

The objectives of the Eastern Draft Horse Association are:

• To insure the proper treatment of pulling horses by working with each of the New England state's Commissioners of Agriculture, Commissioners of Fairs, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
• To raise the standards of horse pulling by establishing rules and regulations for the efficient and equal judging of pulling contests.
• To stimulate interest in horse pulling in the general public.

We hope you'll consider joining the EASTERN DRAFT HORSE ASSOCIATION and take advantage of all membership  has to offer.  

 

When you attend your local country fair, stop by and watch the horses pull for a while .  You will be amazed at the grace, strength and beauty of these magnificent creatures.
