This short documentary offers a humorous look at horse-pulling contests in Ontario and the people who prepare for them. We travel from the farm to the contest, where excitement runs high and the quips do not lack in local colour. Which of these magnificent creatures will be able to pull the heaviest load and win the prize?

    This was not just country life in Ontario. I am sure it was life across the country. I remember being at the fair and in awe of the big teams. And Im only 42
